Hello,
My name is Jennifer Smith. I teach 7th and 8th grade language arts for Illinois Virtual School. I also teach a science methods course for elementary education majors at Illinois State University. I don't have a specific favorite East Asian cuisine, but am hoping to learn more about the topic. Prior to this year I spent 14 years teaching 8th grade science where I learned that food provides a multitude of entry points into education and students love to talk/learn about food. I hope to learn more about East Asian cuisine and to find ways to incorporate it into my curriculum. I also hope to be able to network with other teachers and share teaching ideas with them.
I look forward to working with and learning from everyone!
Jennifer Smith
