Crawford Campus Teen Cooking Show - “So directors, in order to get something going, you say ‘quiet on the set,’” Kristine Diekman shouts across the room to the two high school girls poring over a script. Diekman is a professor of video and new media at Cal State San Marcos.
Mics and cameras are in place; mixing bowls and perfectly-measured ingredients neatly laid out. This group is ready to film a high school cooking show.
“Sweet potato pie, scene six take one,” says Jesse Avilez, a ninth grader at Crawford High School, clapping his slate and then walking off the set.
For the Crawford High School students who participate, it is an internship where they learn video production, graphic design, nutrition and, of course, cooking.
The students wanted to learn cooking basics, Diekman said, like how to chop an onion, how to handle and store food safely, and how to make it good for you.
Crystal Gillespie, an eleventh grader at Crawford High, co-directed the sweet potato pie episode.
The students take turns working in different roles in show production: directing, manning the cameras and microphones, and for the brave ones, trying out their best Emeril or “Iron Chef” in front of the camera.

SDUSD - The old Mission Beach Elementary School and its 2.23 acres of prime coastal real estate sold for $18.5 million to developers Tuesday, May 14, 2013 over the objections of the mayor, residents, and community representatives.
The San Diego Unified School District board voted 4-1 to sell the Mission Beach Center, a prime plot of land a block from the beach in Mission Beach, despite an in-person plea from the mayor to let the city buy the land.
Mayor Filner showed up at Tuesday night’s meeting and made a rambling plea to the district. After apologizing for showing up at the “11th hour,” he outlined how he would like the city to work with the district as the school board moves forward on selling several other properties.
