Maxine There are probably a couple versions of the pizza lesson now. The idea is to help kids understand and get a visual for the fact that real reading requires both text and thinking! I got the idea from somebody here on the list. What I did was copy a poem on red paper (pizza sauce) and cut it into stanzas. I gave each pair of children the poem, a tan circle of paper cut to a pizza size (the crust) and a pack of yellow sticky notes (the pizza cheese). I asked the kids to read the poem a stanza at a time and paste it on the brown circle. Then each person was to put their thinking on sticky notes around the stanza. They repeated the process to cover the pizza crust with text and thinking. I finally gave each kid a "pepperoni" circle cut from construction paper. On it they had to write what they had learned about real reading. Hope this helps Jennifer In a message dated 9/14/2007 9:48:22 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
