I apologize if the simplicity of this question has offended anyone. Of course I believe that this is important for the student. I would not have joined this list if I didn't feel it was important for me, as a adventitiously blind adult, to learn how to work in the kitchen with little to no usable vision. My project is nothing big. I am suppossed to teach a unit involving an area of the expanded core curriculum. I felt it would be fun to try teaching a student to cook. Part of the assigment involved a rationale for why we chose this section. I thought it would be interesting to have a variety of reasons as to why this is an important area. I appreciate all of you who have responded. I knew I could get some thoughtful and varied responses by posing this question to you all. Thanks again and keep them coming if anyone who hasn't responded would like to.
