After children give their responses, I will tell them "Most of our fruits and
vegetables are originally from a farm. Farmers plant the seeds, tend the soil,
water the plants, and finally they harvest the fruits and vegetables. To harvest
means to gather or pick the fruits and vegetables. What do you think happens
after they harvest all of those delicious fruits and vegetables?" Again, I will allow
children time to discuss and engage in back and forth conversations.
Finally, I will begin reading the story. I will pause throughout the story to allow
for more questions and discussion. "You like blueberries? I enjoy blueberries as
well. I even like to cut them into smaller pieces and mix them into my pancake
batter. How do you like to eat your blueberries?" "How do you think that
jalapenos are grown?" "What stores do you go to in order to buy your grapes?"
and so forth. After concluding the story, I will explain to the children that we are
going to be the authors and illustrators of our own food story!
