Dr. Seuss has written some of my favorite books. He is also one of my favorite writers because we share the same birthday, which happened to be on Sunday! We celebrated his birthday today by reading one of his most popular books, Green Eggs and Ham. If you have never read the book, you can watch a read-aloud of it here:
We have been working on writing a lot in ESL, so of course I turned this into a fun opportunity to write about our experiences! I gave my 1st grade ESL friends a chance to try green eggs for themselves. Here are the steps we took to make them (documented by my fun 1st grade friends):
Step 1: Break the eggs and add green food coloring
Step 2: cook the eggs
Step 3: Eat the eggs!
Many of my friends don't like eggs, so they wouldn't try the green eggs! They did feel and smell the eggs, though, to find out more about green eggs.
When we were finished investigating or eating our eggs, we began to write about why we do OR do not like green eggs and ham. We are still working on our writing pieces, but my favorite comment is that "green eggs smell like grilled cheese!"
