TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION

NEWS FROM THE FAMILY AND CONSUMER SCIENCE

DEPARTMENT

Exciting things are happening in the Intercultural Foods classes. Re-

cently, students engaged in the study of Chinese Cuisine and were introduced to

the classic Chinese cooking method of stir frying. Stir frying in its current form

dates back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and was brought to America by

early Chinese immigrants. Stir frying has been recognized for its health and nu-

tritional values, appealing use of meat and vegetables, and subtle use of sauces.

Stir fry dishes are typically comprised of two-thirds vegetables and one-third

meat.

Stir frying technique involves heating a wok with a small amount of oil

to a high temperature. Seasonings such as garlic and ginger are tossed with the

oil followed by meat and vegetables, beginning with those taking the longest to

cook. The majority of time involved in preparing a stir fry involves the cutting

and chopping of ingredients. Actual cooking time is very brief; therefore, all

ingredients must be cut and chopped prior to beginning the cooking process.

The stir fry dish is finished and flavored with the addition of broth, soy sauce,

salt and pepper, and then thickened with cornstarch.

Each kitchen group was charged with creating a stir fry recipe to demon-

strate their knowledge of Chinese Cuisine and stir frying techniques. Working

together, the students selected ingredients to blend contrasting colors and tex-

tures along with tastes picked to complement one another. Meats such as

chicken or beef were selected. Vegetables chosen by the students included

broccoli, bok choy, bean sprouts, peppers, squash, bamboo shoots, carrots, and

snow peas. Once each group selected the ingredients they wanted to include,

they were directed to write a precise recipe for the preparation of the dish which

included a list of ingredients with the cutting techniques identified, specific

steps for preparation, and a name for the recipe.

As a culminating activity, using the recipes they created, students suc-

cessfully prepared, served, and enjoyed eating their stir fry dishes. Many be-

lieved this was the best recipe of the year thus far and expressed an interest in

repeating the lab. They enjoyed the contrast of flavors and textures and the op-

portunity to sample new foods. Students exhibited pride in their choices of in-

gredients and the accomplishment of creating and demonstrating their own rec-

ipe.

What’s Happening Now in: FRENCH

Ms. Emilie Seck

French III students are learning about identifying travel destinations within the French-speaking

world and planning for a trip. Students are also practicing scenarios they are likely to encounter in

an airport.

French IV students are learning about the diversity of populations in francophone countries by

completing research on and studying current trends in migration and immigration. Students are

also discussing the advantages and challenges associated with the movement of large numbers of

people from one region to another.

AP French students are exploring challenges facing the populations of counties and regions where

French is spoken. Topics include the environmental impact of development, health concerns at

the regional and national levels, and social issues facing the people of today’s interconnected

world. Students discuss the challenges involved and suggest solutions for improvement.

What’s Happening Now In: SPANISH

Mrs. Debbie Richmond, Ms. Mary Collette Muirhead, Mr. Nicholas Meyers, and Mr. James Chis-

mer

Spanish I students are learning about foods common in Spanish-speaking regions of the world.

They are using culinary vocabulary to talk about what they eat for each meal of the day, as well as

what foods they like and dislike.

Spanish II students are learning about types of food in Spanish-speaking regions and countries.

Students studying at this level are discussing what constitutes healthy and unhealthy food. They

have learned how to order food at a restaurant using authentic Spanish menus and have presented

restaurant scenes to their classmates. Also, students are learning how to talk about preparing food

for dining at home. They are even writing short recipes using commands and food-related vocabu-

lary.

Spanish III Honors classes recently studied the Diego Velázquez masterpiece, Las Meninas, and

created their own versions of this famous artwork. As a follow-up activity, they compared this

painting to more contemporary portrayals of the same subject matter, like PowerPuffs and The

WORLD LANGUAGES Simpsons. As a last step, they used these explorations to compare and contrast their art-

work to the Velázquez original.

Spanish IV students have been reading an Aztec legend for the purpose of understanding

its relevance and longevity in both spoken and written storytelling. After studying the

story they created either an original scene, a dialog, or a drawing for the purposes of ex-

tending their comprehension of both the characters and the plot.

AP Spanish students are busy preparing for the AP Exam in Spanish Language and Cul-

ture, which is scheduled to take place on May 7th.

What’s Happening Now In: CHINESE

Ms. Fen-Whey Koh

Chinese I students are exploring birthdays as the central theme of their current unit of

study. Students are learning words related to birthdays and are exploring the ways in

which people celebrate their birthdays in China. To many in China, the zodiac year they

were born in is very important, so students are also learning or revisiting the names of ani-

mals that appear in the Zodiac cycles.

Chinese II students are learning about Chinese cuisine. There are at least four major re-

gions in China and each boasts cuisine distinct from the other regions—complete with fa-

mous dishes known and enjoyed by people across the world. One outcome of each class session:

noticeable hunger in the students!

Chinese II and Chinese IV students are learning about concepts and associated vocabulary related

to music and musical instruments. Some interesting exploration have percolated up from each

lesson’s new learning. For example, one student noted that the word for ―piano‖ in Chinese actu-

ally means ―the music instrument made with steel.‖ Very interesting and true to the fact!

Chinese V and Chinese VI students are diligently preparing for the upcoming AP Chinese test.

What’s Happening NOW In: LATIN

Mr. William Buick

Latin Honor Society Field Trip

Towson High School’s Latin Honor Society hopped on a BCPS bus on February 16, 2015 for its

first field trip in more than five years. Our destination: The Walters Art Museum, home to one

of the Mid-Atlantic’s most extensive collections of Greek and Roman artifacts. Our goal: make

connections between BCPS’ instructional program in Latin and the museum’s extraordinary col-

lections of Greek, Roman, Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque art. Students explored the galler-

ies in small groups, took notes on the pieces of artwork that impressed them the most, and dis-

cussed what they learned in subsequent class sessions and Honor Society meetings. Special

thanks to parent chaperones Lara Long and Anne Hutson, who helped plan and supervise the

field trip. We hope it will mark the beginning of an annual event!

Senior News SENIOR PROM

Our next big event is the Senior Prom. The Prom will be held at the Scottish Rite Center from 7:00 – 11:00

p.m. on May 16th. The address is 3800 N. Charles Street, Baltimore MD. Tickets were sold the week of

April 13-17th. The theme of the evening will be Masquerade.

SENIOR CELEBRATION - AFTER PROM PARTY

The 2015 ―Senior Celebration After-Prom‖ party is just a few weeks away. Our all-parent volun-

teers have planned an awesome event for the students immediately following Prom.

All students and their guest are invited, whether or not they attend Prom. This event is planned for

seniors to have a place to go after Prom—a safe atmosphere on an evening where high-risk behav-

ior is tempting to some. This event is paid for with donations from our THS families, and

neighboring merchants and organizations. It is also made possible by a grant from the Maryland

Highway Administration, along with Baltimore County, as both organizations recognize the im-

portance of keeping our kids off the roads after Prom.

Our Senior Class of 2015 is made up of over 320 students, but we have less than 60 contributions

from our senior families. If you are in the position to donate, please send a check to THS Senior

Celebration, and have your student drop it in the SC mailbox in the main office. If you have al-

ready donated, please accept our sincere thanks.

It is our goal to give our kids a safe, drug-free, smoke-free, alcohol-free event to attend after prom.

Do you know a teen who loves learning about animals and is looking for a

unique summer service learning opportunity? If so, Junior Zoo Crew at the

Maryland Zoo in Baltimore might be the perfect fit! The Junior Zoo Crew pro-

gram is an excellent opportunity for teens ages 14-17 with a passion for wild-

life and an interest in animal care to learn more about our exotic animals and

the careers of those who care for them! Participants will engage in a wide vari-

ety of experiences to serve the Zoo community, to develop career skills, and to

broaden their understanding of wildlife and the environment. Don’t let this op-

portunity slip past your students!

Applications are now available and will be accepted by our office until Friday,

May 1st, 2015. Interested applicants must complete an application, submit a re-

port card, and send two reference forms (available at our website) in order to

be considered for the program.
