Ramin Ganeshram (right), author of the new young adult novel Stir It Up, will speak to high school students at the last district-wide book club of the year May 30 at Wilbur Cross High School.
Charline Cupole, chair of the committee organizing the event, created a website with information about the visit, opportunities for blogging about the book and rules for a digital competition.
Students at nine high schools in New Haven are preparing cooking videos for a contest similar to that featured in the book, which is based on a teenaged girl’s desire to have a cooking show on the Food Network. Each school is challenged to create a 2-3 minute video that demonstrates how to prepare a cultural dish.
Students must create or find a recipe, make a video and submit the video and a typed recipe to their library media specialist by May 18. Videos will be viewed at the book club and a winner will be selected.
