NEWS FROM THE FAMILY AND CONSUMER SCIENCE
DEPARTMENT
Exciting things are happening in the Intercultural Foods classes. Re-
cently, students engaged in the study of Chinese Cuisine and were introduced to
the classic Chinese cooking method of stir frying. Stir frying in its current form
dates back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and was brought to America by
early Chinese immigrants. Stir frying has been recognized for its health and nu-
tritional values, appealing use of meat and vegetables, and subtle use of sauces.
Stir fry dishes are typically comprised of two-thirds vegetables and one-third
meat.
Stir frying technique involves heating a wok with a small amount of oil
to a high temperature. Seasonings such as garlic and ginger are tossed with the
oil followed by meat and vegetables, beginning with those taking the longest to
cook. The majority of time involved in preparing a stir fry involves the cutting
and chopping of ingredients. Actual cooking time is very brief; therefore, all
ingredients must be cut and chopped prior to beginning the cooking process.
The stir fry dish is finished and flavored with the addition of broth, soy sauce,
salt and pepper, and then thickened with cornstarch.
Each kitchen group was charged with creating a stir fry recipe to demon-
strate their knowledge of Chinese Cuisine and stir frying techniques. Working
together, the students selected ingredients to blend contrasting colors and tex-
tures along with tastes picked to complement one another. Meats such as
chicken or beef were selected. Vegetables chosen by the students included
broccoli, bok choy, bean sprouts, peppers, squash, bamboo shoots, carrots, and
snow peas. Once each group selected the ingredients they wanted to include,
they were directed to write a precise recipe for the preparation of the dish which
included a list of ingredients with the cutting techniques identified, specific
steps for preparation, and a name for the recipe.
As a culminating activity, using the recipes they created, students suc-
cessfully prepared, served, and enjoyed eating their stir fry dishes. Many be-
lieved this was the best recipe of the year thus far and expressed an interest in
repeating the lab. They enjoyed the contrast of flavors and textures and the op-
portunity to sample new foods. Students exhibited pride in their choices of in-
gredients and the accomplishment of creating and demonstrating their own rec-
ipe.

What’s Happening in Towson High School’s World Languages Program
Here’s a look at what Towson High School’s language students have been
working on since our last update.

What’s Happening Now in: FRENCH
Ms. Emilie Seck
French III students are learning about identifying travel destinations within the French-speaking
world and planning for a trip. Students are also practicing scenarios they are likely to encounter in
an airport.
French IV students are learning about the diversity of populations in francophone countries by
completing research on and studying current trends in migration and immigration. Students are
also discussing the advantages and challenges associated with the movement of large numbers of
people from one region to another.
AP French students are exploring challenges facing the populations of counties and regions where
French is spoken. Topics include the environmental impact of development, health concerns at
the regional and national levels, and social issues facing the people of today’s interconnected
world. Students discuss the challenges involved and suggest solutions for improvement.
What’s Happening Now In: SPANISH
Mrs. Debbie Richmond, Ms. Mary Collette Muirhead, Mr. Nicholas Meyers, and Mr. James Chis-
mer
Spanish I students are learning about foods common in Spanish-speaking regions of the world.
They are using culinary vocabulary to talk about what they eat for each meal of the day, as well as
what foods they like and dislike.
Spanish II students are learning about types of food in Spanish-speaking regions and countries.
Students studying at this level are discussing what constitutes healthy and unhealthy food. They
have learned how to order food at a restaurant using authentic Spanish menus and have presented
restaurant scenes to their classmates. Also, students are learning how to talk about preparing food
for dining at home. They are even writing short recipes using commands and food-related vocabu-
lary.
Spanish III Honors classes recently studied the Diego Velázquez masterpiece, Las Meninas, and
created their own versions of this famous artwork. As a follow-up activity, they compared this
painting to more contemporary portrayals of the same subject matter, like PowerPuffs and The

WORLD LANGUAGES Simpsons. As a last step, they used these explorations to compare and contrast their art-
work to the Velázquez original.
Spanish IV students have been reading an Aztec legend for the purpose of understanding
its relevance and longevity in both spoken and written storytelling. After studying the
story they created either an original scene, a dialog, or a drawing for the purposes of ex-
tending their comprehension of both the characters and the plot.
AP Spanish students are busy preparing for the AP Exam in Spanish Language and Cul-
ture, which is scheduled to take place on May 7th.
What’s Happening Now In: CHINESE
Ms. Fen-Whey Koh
Chinese I students are exploring birthdays as the central theme of their current unit of
study. Students are learning words related to birthdays and are exploring the ways in
which people celebrate their birthdays in China. To many in China, the zodiac year they
were born in is very important, so students are also learning or revisiting the names of ani-
mals that appear in the Zodiac cycles.
Chinese II students are learning about Chinese cuisine. There are at least four major re-
gions in China and each boasts cuisine distinct from the other regions—complete with fa-

mous dishes known and enjoyed by people across the world. One outcome of each class session:
noticeable hunger in the students!
Chinese II and Chinese IV students are learning about concepts and associated vocabulary related
to music and musical instruments. Some interesting exploration have percolated up from each
lesson’s new learning. For example, one student noted that the word for ―piano‖ in Chinese actu-
ally means ―the music instrument made with steel.‖ Very interesting and true to the fact!
Chinese V and Chinese VI students are diligently preparing for the upcoming AP Chinese test.
What’s Happening NOW In: LATIN
Mr. William Buick
Latin Honor Society Field Trip
Towson High School’s Latin Honor Society hopped on a BCPS bus on February 16, 2015 for its
first field trip in more than five years. Our destination: The Walters Art Museum, home to one
of the Mid-Atlantic’s most extensive collections of Greek and Roman artifacts. Our goal: make
connections between BCPS’ instructional program in Latin and the museum’s extraordinary col-
lections of Greek, Roman, Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque art. Students explored the galler-
ies in small groups, took notes on the pieces of artwork that impressed them the most, and dis-
cussed what they learned in subsequent class sessions and Honor Society meetings. Special
thanks to parent chaperones Lara Long and Anne Hutson, who helped plan and supervise the
field trip. We hope it will mark the beginning of an annual event!

Our next big event is the Senior Prom. The Prom will be held at the Scottish Rite Center from 7:00 – 11:00
p.m. on May 16th. The address is 3800 N. Charles Street, Baltimore MD. Tickets were sold the week of
April 13-17th. The theme of the evening will be Masquerade.
SENIOR CELEBRATION - AFTER PROM PARTY
The 2015 ―Senior Celebration After-Prom‖ party is just a few weeks away. Our all-parent volun-
teers have planned an awesome event for the students immediately following Prom.
All students and their guest are invited, whether or not they attend Prom. This event is planned for
seniors to have a place to go after Prom—a safe atmosphere on an evening where high-risk behav-
ior is tempting to some. This event is paid for with donations from our THS families, and
neighboring merchants and organizations. It is also made possible by a grant from the Maryland
Highway Administration, along with Baltimore County, as both organizations recognize the im-
portance of keeping our kids off the roads after Prom.
Our Senior Class of 2015 is made up of over 320 students, but we have less than 60 contributions
from our senior families. If you are in the position to donate, please send a check to THS Senior
Celebration, and have your student drop it in the SC mailbox in the main office. If you have al-
ready donated, please accept our sincere thanks.
It is our goal to give our kids a safe, drug-free, smoke-free, alcohol-free event to attend after prom.
