'The QUEST for the Whole Enchilada' |
|
|---|---|
|
The NM state question "Red or Green?" is the perfect example of how New Mexicans have survived together, maintained our heritages, and thrived to create a unique multi-cultural legacy. Our cuisine is a literal expression of the blending of ag products from all parts of the world. The enchilada is a result of those who were here, and those who came after. This project explores products, farming areas, and nutrition of several key NM commodities; and how those products combine to make an easy traditional dish. Students categorize, research, graph and present. The project culminates with a food lab. Workshop Session (all workshops will be 75 minutes) | |

| Biosketch: | As a fifth generation NM rancher, I have had the advantage of teaching 7th-9th graders from the perspective of an agriculturalist. Whether I am talking about water resources, John Chisum or what happened at the ranch yesterday, students hear real experiences and touch tangible items that were used on estancias of yesterday and the ranch today. I grew up on a sheep/cattle operation north of Roswell in alien territory, was an exchange student to Santa Cruz, Bolivia in high school, and graduated with a Business degree from UTEP, and received teacher certifications in Business, Language Arts, TESOL, Social Studies, Family and Consumer Science and Health from ENMU. Married to John Jackson for 37 years, we ranch at Lake Arthur and have 3 grown children. In 2011, I received the NMAITC Teacher of the Year and 2012 National award. I serve on the NM Women's Leadership Committee and NMFLB Foundation Board. |
