scampbell@eee.orgWelcome to Salade
Welcome
to Salade...a horticultural hamlet where tomates,
oignons, pommes de terre, céleris, poivrons, choux-fleurs et aubergines
live, love, learn, struggle and solve mysteries together.
Why
vegetables? I
teach Spanish. The animation
of vegetables was a natural outgrowth of an early lesson in which I used apples
of various colors, tomatoes of three sizes and chilis of various colors and
sizes to teach Spanish 1 students the words for several colors, shapes and
sizes. One day I lined up the large
beef tomato, the regular tomato and the small “roma” tomato and announced:
“Esta es una familia.” It
took off from there!
