Theme/Skill: Language Arts/Creativity/Problem Solving/Funny enriching book with a wonderful usage of vocabulary words.
Pre-activity: Discuss as a class what pigs eat and what we eat as
humans from them. Then as a class we will discuss how we use many
animals to get our protein and nutrient from to survive. Students
will be encouraged to ask questions throughout the story.
Post-activity: Have the students complete the given worksheet about Piggie Pie.
My Refection of the book persuading people to read it:
I feel this is a great story for teachers to use with their students
to make them think outside the box. This story also uses a lot of
great adjectives for students to learn. I really enjoy the illustrations that are used throughout the story. I think the illustrations make the book. Overall, I think it is a great book for teachers to read to their
students.
