What would this lesson look like?
I love Junie B. Jones, Curious George, and Author books. Whatever your book of choice is, it will do. First, introduce the story's themes and discuss the story elements. After all, this is a lesson! Learning first, fun later. I would spend one day on the book and the next on our cooking project.
I typically pick out an easy recipe, purchase enough ingredients for the entire class, and combine it with a YouTube video with children as the focal point of sharing their opinions. These videos are always a hit! The Youtube channel Epicurious has a Kids Try series. My favorite video is Kids Try 100 Years of the Most Expensive Foods. Give it a try!
Happy Teaching,
Nicey
