5. Project Steps

Step 1: Share My Sweet Heritage
Activity:

• As a class, students discuss and select 1–2 traditional desserts from their community.
• Then, create a presentation explaining the selected dessert and the cultural story behind it.
• Share this presentation on the project board.

Teacher Tip:

• Use a template to help structure students’ ideas (name of dessert, ingredients, celebration, origin story).

Step 2: Discover Global Flavors (Mandatory)
Activity:

• Use the ideas from Step 1 to create a short vertical video (up to 2 minutes) showing the dessert and telling its story.
• Post the video on the project board.
• Students watch at least 2 videos from other classes and comment on their favorites.

Optional:

• Connect with one or more participating teachers to create a shared YouTube playlist showcasing the full collection of dessert videos from all classes.

Step 3: Reflect & Celebrate
Activity:

• Students reflect on what they learned about their own and others' cultures.
• They post a comment on the project board answering:

1. What dessert inspired you the most?
2. What did you enjoy about making your video?
3. What surprised you in this project?

Optional:

• Share the YouTube playlist link (if created) as part of the class reflection.
• Connect with a participating teacher to organize a 20-minute online celebration to share highlights and learning together.

Assessment and reflection

• Use a simple reflection form with the following three questions:

1. What did I learn from other students’ dessert stories?
2. What inspired me the most during this project?
3. How can I continue learning about different cultures through food?

• Teachers can evaluate students based on:

1. Participation – Level of engagement throughout the activities.
2. Creativity – Originality and effort in storytelling and video presentation.
3. Collaborative Spirit – Willingness to engage with peers, comment, and celebrate others’ work.
