Extra credit opportunity!

For those students who enjoy cooking there are TWO extra credit opportunities in this unit!  Students can choose to prepare either Mexican tortillas de maís or tortilla española from Spain and document the process with a series of photographs or a short cooking video. Students should email me their photos or videos for me to share with other 8th graders and here on our blog!

Here are some resources that may be helpful:
