What’s Cooking?

Swift students continued with more out-of-the-box thinking, turning to cooking-up recipes for everything but food! Despite being tired from testing and being ready for the weekend to begin, students still managed to read and discuss an example recipe poem. We also acted out the usage of some kitchen items that I brought from home, including a whisk, a spatula, and a grater. Enjoy this week’s collaborative efforts!

Recipe for How to Write a Poem

write your name before
getting a giant box of words
then pour some imagination in
a giant bowl
get some yummy creativity
and smash it and stir it
with a giant spoon mix sugar,
stanzas, and lines
cut some brainstorming
and load it into a builder truck
season with some drawing
peek in the kitchen for a title of dressing
and eat like a giant sandwich
