Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, Reading and Pizza Making at Yorba Linda Middle School

Yorba Linda Middle School students recently integrated the components of WICOR (Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading) to learn how to make pizza in Culinary Arts. Students learned about ingredients, measurements, and planning prior to putting their new skills to practice. Following focused notes, students were then placed into cooperative groups where each student had a specific role within the kitchen. Teamwork, communication, and attention to detail were imperative in the pizza-making process.

Students in Culinary Arts often take their newly developed cooking skills home. Students enjoy learning and connecting subject material to meaningful, real-life contexts. Teacher Mrs. Boydston is proud of the students’ work and focus during cooking!
