§113.5. Social Studies, Grade 3.
(4) Throughout social studies in Kindergarten-Grade 12, students build a foundation in history; geography; economics; government; citizenship; culture; science, technology, and society; and social studies skills. The content, as appropriate for the grade level or course, enables students to understand the importance of patriotism, function in a free enterprise society, and appreciate the basic democratic values of our state and nation as referenced in the Texas Education Code, §28.002(h).
4th Grade
Discussion
Students do not always comprehend that the things they enjoy on a daily basis have a history. They may not understand that the foods they enjoy originate in another country and may be prepared differently or eaten a different way.
Teach It
After reading the story I would let the children pick a different food they enjoy. Examples could be peanut butter, pizza, chips, anything they enjoy and create a timeline of major events that has happened for their food. I would tell them to write a story that involves their food they pick and have something funny happen. We may be able to incorporate the story about bubble gum also to serve as an example. They would first study their food such as origin and intended use. Who invented it. This would all go in a report along with their timeline.
