Project Activities
Meet Tanzi and Our Partner Class
Students meet their partner class by video call and share where they live. Together they begin to picture what potato farming looks like in Tanzi.
Mapping Potato Farms in Tanzi
Students research where potatoes grow in Tanzi and collect photos and facts about local farms. They note how farms connect to daily life and the land around them.
Potato Stories from Home
Students gather stories and images about how potatoes are grown and eaten in their own communities. They look for customs, values, and cultural symbols linked to food.
Comparing Farming Across Our Communities
Students share their findings with the partner class through an online board and compare farming and eating customs. They ask each other questions and note similarities and differences.
Sustainable Farming Ideas Together
Students work with the partner class to explore how farming affects the environment and what sustainable choices look like. They co-create a shared list of ideas for their own communities.
Sharing Our Potato Journey
Students present their photo stories and facts to the partner class in a live video showcase. They reflect on what they learned about global farming and daily life.
