 Lesson Plan Ideas for Ugandan Food:

1. Read “What is Cassava?”to class and discuss why this is such a popular (staple) food for Uganda.
2. Print out the recipes for Ugandan matoke, ugali, luwombo. Read to the students what is in it and how it is made.
3. Make one or more of the foods and allow each student to taste it.
   • If you are able to make it together as a class, this is a great math connection as well.
   • Send home a request for parents to volunteer to make some of these foods.
