The Cook-off! In AP World History we learned about the columbian exchange and the different products that originate in the western and eastern hemispheres. Then, we were assigned a hemisphere by our teacher Ms. Cain and tasked to create a dish using products only from said hemisphere. My group was assigned the Western Hemisphere. We used foods like peppers, chocolate, blueberries, pineapples, etc to create our final dish. 

For art class, we were asked to chose a culture and make dishware resembling their ceramic style. My group (Lucinda, Madsion, Regie) chose Native American Pottery. We first researched traditional native american ceramics, then we created a butterfly mug, two plates, and a vase. This connects to Native American culture because the butterfly we used is a tiger swallowtail butterfly native to Native America. Butterflies were a common design displayed in ancient Native American pottery.
