Introduction: Ask who has seen pizza made. Try to think of all the steps needed to make a pizza. Reorder the list so that each step is in order.
Pizza in Motion
By Laura Purdie Salas
Pizza making must be fun
Knead and pound, the dough is done
Make a whipping, spinning toss
Splash on tons of pizza sauce
Add sausage and some bacon, please
And extra, extra, extra cheese!
From: Salas, Laura Purdie. 2009. LETTUCE INTRODUCE YOU: POEMS ABOUT FOOD. Mankato, Minnesota: Capstone Press. ISBN 1-4296-1703-9
Extension: Compare the directions the class made with the poem. Have cookbooks available on a table. Let everyone look through a cookbook to find a recipe they like. Everyone can then try to change the directions into a poem that gives a picture of how the good is created.
For another new poetry book on food, try Pat Mora’s book of haiku. Every double page has a haiku and an informational paragraph on a food native to Mexico or the southwest.
