These sound like fun activities that kids can connect to their daily
lives. I love teaching writing, and my students also have enjoyed
writing book review "recipes" as an adjective/parts of speech writing
exercise. Take "George's Marvelous Medicine" for example:
2 c. Magic
1 c. Wicked
1/2 c. Humor
2 tbs. Suspense
1 tbs. Revenge
1 tsp. Greediness
2 c. Magic
1 c. Wicked
1/2 c. Humor
2 tbs. Suspense
1 tbs. Revenge
1 tsp. Greediness
Directions:
Pour the magic, wicked, & humor into a large bowl and mix well!
Slowly sprinkle in the tablespoons of suspense, revenge, and greediness
one at a time. Stir them all together for one delicious story!
