Resource Materials:
Mora, Pat. Yum! MmMm! Que Rico!. Illus. Rafael Lopez. New York: Lee & Low, 2007.
Target Audience:
Fourth Grade
Discussion/ How to Teach It:
According to the TEKS, fourth graders should be able to use a variety of sources and materials to research a topic and present it to the class.
We will read Yum! MmMm! Que Rico! to create a schema for an essay on the origin of one's favorite food might look like. Then the kids will each choose a food that they really enjoy to study. They will use a variety of resources to research their foods such as the internet, the dictionary, the encyclopedia, and other selections from the library. This will be a major project that we will work on once or twice a week for several weeks. In the end, we will bind each students' contribution together to create a class book, complete with illustrations.

I love how you chose to direct this lesson plan for fourth graders. I sometimes forget that we are getting certified to teach to that grade level and focus only on first and second grade. It was also cool that you incorporated a requirement from the TEKS to shape your lesson plan. You are such a great teacher already Staci!
