Collection: Learning Materials
This lesson plan is part of the Little Chefs program, a literacy-based cooking program for children and adults.

The starting point of this lesson plan is the picture book "I Can’t Have Bannock but the Beaver Has a Dam," by Bernelda Wheeler. The book tells the story of a boy whose mother can’t make bannock, a kind of bread traditionally made by First Nations people, because a beaver has cut down a tree and knocked out a hydro line, cutting off the electrical power for the family’s stove.
The plan includes a list of the ingredients and equipment needed to make bannock. It also includes instructions for a craft project.
