This is a very extensive lesson plan! I enjoy seeing how spam musubi is incorporated into the lesson to show how two cultures can combine and influence the culture. For the 5th grade curriculum, students learn about U.S. history and geography. This gives me an idea to implement a food project where students can find a fusion food and share their findings about why these cultural foods combined into one. The interview section in your lesson plan is a great way for students practice coming up with questions and interacting with people other than their peers. I always want students to be engaged in the community and think outside of what they know.
