Fields of Fresh Fruit

How do children describe fruit? Is it colorful? Tasty? Sweet? Tart? Students explore adjectives and create a drawing of fruit they enjoy.

Lesson Plan

Steps

  • Step 1

    Ask children to describe some of the fruits they enjoy eating. What words would they use to describe them? Sweet? Juicy? Sour? Crispy? Colorful? Do they notice a difference in taste between eating a ripe fruit and one that's less ripe?

  • Step 2

    Ask students to pick a fruit they enjoy and create a picture of it. Encourage them to think about what they enjoy about its taste and other characteristics, such as color and texture.

  • Step 3

    Have them present their art to the class and talk about what they enjoy about this fruit.

Standards

LA: Add drawings or other visual displays to written text to clarify ideas, thoughts, and feelings.

LA: Report on a topic or text, tell a story, or recount an experience with appropriate facts and relevant, descriptive details, speaking clearly at an understandable pace.

Adaptations

Ask students to think of three adjectives - one describing the color, one for the taste, and one for the texture of a piece of fruit.

Have students create a fruit salad "still life" by drawing a variety of fruits they enjoy.
