French Students Experience Julia Child: A Recipe for Life Exhibit

Madame Campbell arranged a field trip to the Henry Ford Museum for her French for Careers class, Honors French 2 and French 2 classes to see the "Julia Child: A Recipe for Life" exhibit. Madame Lacroix, mother of Lizzy Barker also accompanied the group for the Julia Child study.  Madame Campbell prepared a study guide for her students as they viewed the exhibit with questions analyzing her life and career in France as well as in the United States. The focus was on Julia Child's passion for learning the true art of authentic French cooking despite the many challenges she faced in her journey and career to pursue her dream. The students also learned how this achievement was revolutionary for women in this period of our history and how Julia Child became a legacy as she empowered and advocated for women in a male chef's cooking world!

The students enjoyed a lunch in the museum which served items cooked from Julia Child's "The French Chef" cooking book including coq au vin, cassoulet, ratatouille and haricots verts. It was a fun and educational day!
