The student would have to have the background knowledge about pancakes to begin to understand the story. The title of this children's book is pancake for breakfast and that does not relate to every child. This book can only relate to children that know what pancakes are and has eaten them before. For example, I had never heard nor tasted pancakes before coming to America. Children come from all around the world with different cultural backgrounds. Another thing children might have difficulty understanding is snow and maple syrup. It does not snow all around the world so there might be some child that do not understand and have never seen snow. I had only seen it on television before coming to America. It does not snow in Africa so that is a whole continent of children that can not relate to the story. Maple syrup is also another one because not every child knows where Maple syrup comes from or was seen the tree before. This story mostly reflects how life used to be in the America back in the 19th centuries. …show more content…
I was looking for dishes to make for Thanksgiving one year and found this step by step recipe on YouTube. First, I would put the bacon in the skillet, then after it is done, I put the Brussel sprout in the same skillet to use the bacon fat. I would let the Brussel sprout stem for ten minutes. While that is steamin, I would chop up some onions and get them ready. Then I would put the onions in the skillet, then add half stick of butter and two spoons of brown sugar. I would then mix everything up and let that simmer for ten minutes. After that is done, I would chop up the bacon and sprinkle on top of the Brussel sprout, then it is ready to be
In the sauce pan melt the butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows and keep stirring until they have all melted. Keep stirring and cooking for an extra minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the food coloring. Add the cereal and candy corn until they are covered completely. Place them in the pan, cover with wax paper and press out the mixture to be even in the pan. Allow to set up completely and then cut and share.
In a separate bowl cut the large scallions and half medium cabbage to small pieces. Peel and chop the potato, malanga, carrots, turnip, yam and the butter squash. Wash the vegetables and put in a separate boiling water. Cover it and cook it in high heat for an hour. After an hour reduce the heat and add scotch bonnet pepper. Once everything is fully cooked remove it from the pot. Used the cooking water to blend the squash into a puree. For the best flavor pour the vegetables, the squash and the cooking liquid into the pot that cooked the meat. After that add parsley, thyme, and broken spaghetti. If there’s no spaghetti, you can substitute with macaroni. Let them all cook for about an hour or until tender. Once done combine meat with soup and enjoy. You can eat this soup with bread has a side dish.
Once you have everything that is needed, you can begin to prepare the dish. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Take the large mixing bowl and pour the sour cream and the can of mushroom soup into it. I use one can of Campbell's mushroom soup. You can use the off-brand mushroom soup to cut costs if you wish. The end result will be about the same. I also prefer to use fat free sour cream to make it lighter. However, any sour cream would work. You will need eight ounces of sour cream. Stir the sour cream and soup together, and they will blend into a sort of cream sauce. If it is too thick, add a few tablespoons of water to thin it. The sauce should slowly drizzle off of the spoon. You also need to prepare the beef. It is totally dependent on your preference as to how much beef you should use. I tend to use about two pounds of lean hamburger. ...

Thanksgiving is a holiday in the United States, which is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November every year. Although the way holidays are celebrated over time, thanksgiving has always been a holiday feast. However, Thanksgiving is more than just eating food together with your family. For instance, some families do charity work for the poor people and create a Thanksgiving dinner for them, other family’s watch sport in addition to the food that they eat together. One part that is common at almost every Thanksgiving dinner is the type of food that is served. Families in the United States have celebrated Thanksgiving for hundreds of years, but the way it is celebrated has slightly changed from the first Thanksgiving. To be able to explain
Though the evils of the world may discourage us from reaching our full potential, fairytales such as Little Snow-White by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm teach us that good will always triumph over evil. As many tales of its kind, Little Snow-White uses a number of literary devices to attract a younger audience and communicate to them a lesson or moral that will remain with them throughout their lives. Since children have such an abstract stream of thought, it is vital to use language and devices that will appeal to them as to keep them interested in the story.

The story that my group decided to read is “Pancakes” by Joan Bauer. The project option that I chose was the poem, and it was difficult to relate the story into a poem, partly because the protagonist, Jill, has a very barren personality. She knows what she likes and what she will not put up with, which is any type of disorder. She finds organizing CDs a acceptable activity to do with a boyfriend. She is bitter about losing her boyfriend to her organization chaos, but she refuses to change. She is very proud of her ability to have things under control, always having a plan. How could she possibly predict sixty-six environmentalist showing up without notice and offering a chalkboard as a suitable replacement for a ten page menu? How could she
Now that you have all your ingredients, you can get started on the fun, but first, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Before you mix all the ingredients, beat the three eggs together in the small bowl until they are well mixed. Now mix together the can of pumpkin, the three beaten eggs, the milk, salt, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, and sugar in the large bowl. You can use anything to mix it all with, a rubber spatula, a wooden spoon, or if you have neither of those, a large spoon will do the trick. Be sure to mix everything so that it's mixed evenly.
Most Americans do not care enough to take a look at the nutritional values of the food that he or she is consuming. That is why America has the highest percentage of obesity in the world. This is a serious problem because one in every three adults is obese, and one in every six children is obese. There are many factors that go into the regular American diet, but most of those factors are not appealing nor is it healthy. Americans put way too much processed food into their daily diet. Some would say that other countries diets superior the American diet because of nutritional values that it carries. Other countries have proven that an active lifestyle is a huge element in the average weight of the country. There are many things that Americans could change about their diets and lifestyle that would help them to become healthier.
In the beginning of my lesson, I started off by asked my three students Alyssa, Iris, and Violet several different questions. The main question that I asked my students were what they thought the story was going to be about by simply just looking at the cover. Of course, all three guessed diferent things. Alyssa, did not cooperate very well with the lesson. She did not even want to guess or look at the story. Finally, when Alyssa did guess she guessed one thing that the story was going to be about a snail named sticky that lived in the fishtank. Iris’s guess was what the cover had on it which was a fish tank. Therefore, Iris assumed that it was going to be a story about something involving that fish tank. She was enthused and wanted to read
A time saving tip my family uses is to gather all my ingredients first and place them in a nearby, handy location, so that they are all there and ready to use.

Heat the oil in a large pan and gently fry the onion until soft. Add the butter, and wait for it to bubble before tipping in half the leeks, potatoes, celery and sage, setting aside a few leaves for garnish. Cook gently for 25 minutes with the lid on, stirring occasionally.
Picture books can be seen as an easy read. It is something that needs to be easy in order for the children to understand the concepts, and be interested in listening to it. The ease of the picture book makes it difficult for people to look into the foundation of the book. There is a framework that someone might not see in the beginning of the story until they look into the bones of it. One of the most redeeming qualities is to “ensure..your story depth resonates with both the reader and the listener” (p. 23).
Add pasta, bell peppers, scallions, and sesame seeds to dressing. Toss it to combine, and serve immediately.
