In Doughing Good, Rushton features Christopher Gee who started baking bread at 12 years old. He is 14 years old in the video but he talks about how he got started in his bread-baking business.
Rushton gives the following prompts to accompany this video:
“Try and make a list of the things that happen along the way – what he does and what others do – that help him capture the attention of others. What does he do that turns out to have been really good for his work? What kind of help does he find as he tries what he tries? What roadblocks do you imagine he encountered, but didn’t get described in the video?
What kind of business would you like to start? What would you need, and who might help you?”
I found it interesting how much research he did to try to find the perfect ratio to make sourdough bread. I like how he reached out to other bakers on social media and wasn’t afraid to ask questions. He would be a great inspiration to students who think they are too young to make a difference because after seeing this video, they may change their minds.
Please check out the video and think of other prompts you might come up with. Please share.
