The National Honey Board is pleased to announce its first Honey Lesson Plan competition exclusively for members of the Foodservice Educators Learning Community. This competition is designed to provide culinary arts educators a chance to show off their best practices when it comes to demonstrating culinary techniques, cooking styles and teaching culinary information regarding honey, first in a written format and then as a video presentation. The Honey Board will award a $2,500 cash prize for most outstanding lesson plan.
Details:
Secondary & Post–Secondary educators are welcome to send in a lesson plan demonstrating honey usage in one or more areas of the curriculum. For example, the lesson plan could include a lesson on breakfast, sandwiches, entrees, desserts, seafood, and global cuisines, cooking techniques or classical tea service. We encourage you to use your creativity!
The lesson should represent a 45 minute module that includes 7-10 minutes of honey education: production (hive to table), varietal honeys, honey bee pollination/sustainability, versatility of honey in menus and a menu application as a representation of the lesson learned. The lesson does not need to be exclusively about honey, rather how honey is utilized within the confines of the lesson being learned. For example, a lesson on preparing roasted lamb would incorporate 7-10 minutes of honey information and the introduction of a honey glaze along with the culinary fundamentals.
Winners:
All lesson plan entries must be submitted by May 3, 2009. Three finalists will be selected and requested to submit a 10-15 minute video presentation to complement the lesson plan. The grand prize winner will be chosen by juried peer review and a representative of the National Honey Board and will be awarded a $2,500 cash prize plus complimentary registration to the 2010 FELC Summit. The two finalists will receive $500 each.
Note: The three winning videos will be featured on the National Honey Board’s Web site and in future honey education marketing materials. Winners will be required to sign a release form.
Competition Requirements:
Entries for the competition will be accepted April 6 - May 3, 2009. Entries will be judged the first week of May (May 4-8) and three winners will be notified via e-mail. The final video must be submitted by June 12, 2009. The grand prize winner will be announced by June 29, 2009.
