Children need to do the writing first and illustrate what is in the last blank of the frame. Let them write the frame across the top or bottom of the illustration. Most teachers use Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs for their weather unit, but it is can be used for health and nutrition as well. Food falls from the sky in the little town of Chewandswallow. The forecast changes daily and people take to the streets with plates, etc. until one day. . .
Writing can be in the form of a weather bulletin.
The example is not my idea of a balanced meal. I use this activity to talk about horizon lines, simple perspective, creating shapes to fit a particular space such as a giant slice of pizza draped over the roof of a house, doughnuts looped around a chimney or in piles. Teach metaphors by having children write and illustrate a poem comparing themselves to different items, such as a car, piece of furniture, animal, fruit, or vegetable. Metaphors connect two different ideas, persons, places, or things. They make you see things in new ways.
