Momofuku Milk Bar
All of the bakery's cult favorites are here, including the crack pie, a sugary-buttery confection as craveable as the name implies, along with recipes for savory breads, some of which take a page from Dave's Asian-flavored cuisine, such as Kimchi Croissant with Blue Cheese.

North Carolina Women and the Progressive Movement
This lesson includes primary sources from Documenting the American South specifically related to North Carolina women involved in reform movements characteristic of the Progressive era. For the most part, these documents detail women's work in education-related reform and describe the creation of schools for women in the state. They also demonstrate that, as was true in the rest of the nation, the progressive, female reformers of N.C. were segregated based on race and socio-economic status.

This lesson asks students to research a modern government program having roots in the New Deal. Following their research, students participate in a congressional forum where they debate which programs should be continued. Recommended for grade 11, can be adapted for other grades.
