Old Salem

The kitchen in the Single Brother's House.
Apple fritters cooking on a spider pan.





   Old Salem










Our class traveled to Old Salem.  The students worked together to make apple fritters. Students also made a clay tile. The Moravians used clay tiles on their roofs. Additionally, students listened to a story about how flax seeds can become linen. Each student was given a dried flax plant to twist around their finger to expose the fibers used for linen.

What was your favorite part of Old Salem? Explain.

In Old Salem i liked the apple fritters the best.Because when you eat them you can taste the lemons.Also when we went inside the bakery it smelt so good and we got to eat cookies.The cookies were good it tasted like ginger braed cookies.Also we washed our hands in pots but the water was warm it felt so good.Last we made roof tiles out of clay.

My favoret part is the flax. You can make cloth out of it. You can use tool's or your hands. It seems to me that, when you use hands, it's easier. If you go to Old Salom, what is your favoret part.
