Today with fourth graders, I did the salad lesson to model how much thinking goes into real reading. Then, I must thank whoever posted the pizza idea here, I use the pizza as guided practice for real reading. I let each pair of students choose a poem I had printed out on red paper. I gave them a tan circle that was pizza size and yellow sticky notes. I asked them to cut out the poem (the sauce) into stanzas and paste them on the pizza. Then each kid used yellow sticky notes to add the thinking(the cheese). When they were finished I gave them each a red circle (the pepperoni) on which to record what they learned about real reading. Thanks to whoever posted the pizza idea...good stuff and a great variation for older kids or kids who really don't know salads as well... Jennifer
