I ran across lesson plans for All Ye Lands

This is a cached version I found although the format isn't the same. Maybe it'll help someone or give some ideas (if you know me in real life I can give you a copy of the plans in an easier to follow format):

What's Cookin'?
Latkes: Here's a recipe but I will probably just wing it and shred the potatoes, add a bit of chopped onion and salt, flour and egg to make it stick and then fry. I'll serve with apple sauce. This tells you how long ago I taught in public schools: I remember making latkes with my second grade class. I guess you can't really do culturally religious things much anymore that are Jewish or Christian but back then it was still okay. A book that I read with the activity was: Latkes and Applesauce
Maccabee is one of my heroes - their perseverance and courage inspire me. It was during the rededication of the Temple that the miracle of the oil, thus the Festival of Lights (Hanukkah), occurred. [An aside: another inspiring hero for me is Miguel Pro - I've been thinking about him a lot lately (his Feast Day recently passed) and saw some photos taken just before his execution. He forgave his executioners, prayed, denied the blindfold, and died saying "Viva Cristo Rey." Although it was against the law to be practicing Catholicism at the time around 20,000 mourners defied the oppression and went to the streets for his funeral.]
