I have liked the Pen pals because you can learn about people in other countries and what they do. You can also learn what type of food they eat in the different countries.

I like our Pen Pals because we get to talk to people with different cultures that can tell us about the weather in their country, and the geography of their country and the different foods they get to eat their. I think it is really awesome.

i learned from the article was that food is great way to explore cultures and learn about communities around the world. The foods we eat can also show where we have traveled and what cultures have migrated to our communities.

I Like the pen pals because you get to learn about other peoples culture, religion and stuff they like. Also you get to talk to them about your work that you are doing in pen pal schools. I also liked the text because I love food, and I got to learn about all the good food around the world.

I love Pen Pals because it is a great way to learn about the culture of other students. It also helps you understand projects such as "A World of Food", and how the project works in the community of others. This is why I love Pen Pals.

I knew that there were a wide variety of food around the world that are made with diffrent ingredients and eaten in diffrent manners. What I didn´t know was that Croatia, Greece and other countries along the mediteranian were so healthy I also didn´t know that Japan was so healthy. One of my penpals had three dogs, two cats and three horses while the other had theree sisters, one brother and two cats.

When I started Penpals ¨World of food¨ I already knew that there were many different foods around the world but, I thought ever single piece of food was different. I learned that many other places have the same fast food restaurants that they have here (which is really sad). I also really liked my penpals on World of food there names are Daizha F. from US, Sita D. from US, and Gauge G. from US.

The students will learn about the different foods in their community and the different community's around the globe. Then they will try the foods form different community's, and share their own recopies along with making cook books.

I like Penpals Because you could meet children from around the world and learn their history and culture and etc.I think that The world of food teaches children about some foods that they dont know about and this teaches me that theres more food that i never thought about it.

Before this I knew that New York had a special type of Pizza and that many people are dying of starvation. America is lucky that we have a lot of food, but the sad things is that America is the most obese country in the world which means that lot of people are overweight. From the video I learned that Italy is known for making pasta, pizza and many cheeses. I also learned that Scandinavian foods use dill, mustard, and nutmeg.
