This unit contains 8 different nonfiction-explanatory cookbooks. While these are fun cooking activities that can easily be done in a classroom setting, you don’t have to cook any of them to use this pack. To use the cookbooks, simply reproduce on cardstock, laminate and bind together.
Other items in this pack include supplemental materials based on the explanatory piece. For each piece you will find:
- A parent letter for gathering ingredients.
- A reproducible sheet for recording the directions which can be used during guided, interactive, or independent writing.
- A cut a sentence book based on the recipe for sentence structure.
- A picture sequencing activity based on the recipe.
- A fun craftivity book for the children to make based on the book. It may be used as the cover for the activities.
