It's Raining Meatballs

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students observe and demonstrate the process of summarization using the book "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" by Judi Barrett. They silently read the story, and as a class discuss the five W's. Students then write a short summary of the book and draw a picture of their favorite part.
