The Tortilla Factory

We are immersed in our Food Unit and I thought The Tortilla Factory by Gary Paulsen would be a great addition this year.

Tortillas are a delicious part of all of our lives here in Southern California, and for many of you all over the world, so it was a no-brainer.

The book shows how corn seeds planted in the ground, grow into tall corn stalks.  How the corn is dried and ground into flour.  How it is made into masa dough and then into tortillas.  How the tortillas are taken to stores, purchased, and brought to our kitchens.


After reading, we discussed food that we like to eat with tortillas.  And of course, we created a circle map!


Then we used a sentence starter, I like tortillas and ______ , to create sentences.






Food is such a popular topic in my classroom!  You can see more of what we have done with food {HERE}.
