Home Economics: A Caribbean Approach Book 3 (Home Economics: A Caribbean Approach 1st Edition) - Tapa blanda

"Caribbean Home Economics" has been designed to equip students with all the essential skills needed for successful home making. The three course books are each divided into a series of sections which consider the following basic topics: the family, food and nutrition, textiles and clothing, consumer education, entertaining. The complete course covers all the requirements of the CXC Home Economics syllabus. Within each section, various aspects of the topic are explored with the help of photographs and drawings. The emphasis throughout the course is on student participation; a wide variety of recipes, many using local produce, is included; and suggestions for "things to do" both in the classroom and at home appear at regular intervals. Each book builds on and extends the work covered in the previous volume. At the end of the third book, material for CXC examination practice is also provided.

Rita Dyer and Norma Maynard have been teaching Home Economics for over twenty years at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels. They are now actively involved with curriculum development and teacher training in Home Economics on their home island of St Lucia. Their experiences in regional and international organisations related to Home Economics give them a global perspective in that area. They both currently teach at the Arthur Lewis Community College, St Lucia.
