Food in Literature

Mary’s 10th graders are exploring the theme of food in literature (and the use of food or dining scenes in story-telling as a literary device.)

Use the menu at left to explore the databases recommended for studying literature.  Don’t miss the Literature Resource Center from Gale as a way to find literary criticism, poems, short stories.

In the library’s catalog (linked from the library’s homepage), you will find a “Resource List” at the left menu for locating books selected for exploration.  You can also search the catalog for more titles by doing a ‘power search” such as “Food AND fiction.”

As the unit unfolds, these movies might be explored:  Chef (with John Favreau), Giro Dreams of Sushi, Babette’s Feast (foreign titles.) What movies can we add to this list?

Edible Book Contest:  For fun, take a look at these edible books!  Will you join the contest this year?  (See rules for 2014 contest held at the Cherrydale Library.  See winning entries from 2012!)
