Synopsis

Need an activity to help you teach a specific language arts skill? You're likely to find it in this new book of activities, all loosely centered on a theme of interest to all―food.

Language Is Served includes word games, writing prompts, lessons, and writing activities that involve research, creativity, and application of skills studied in class.

Activities include:

• Cheesy Rhymes,
• Appetizing Antonyms,
• Sizzling Synonyms,
• Dishing up the Internet,
• You Are How You Eat,
• Delicious and Disgusting, and
• Overstuffed Sentences.

The author uses a sense of humor to teach serious writing skills and to engage students in playing with words and language―an important step in learning to use our language skillfully.
