Creative Writing

Last night for homework my 5th graders (affectionately known as my "kids" from this point on) had to write a very descriptive, almost taste-able paragraph about their favorite meal. Some wrote about mom's macaroni and cheese, food at McDonald's or baked Alaska for dessert. I had a variation of quality of work. This one, that you're about to read, made my jaw drop. His mom worked on it with him, but I believe that these words are his. (I will include the spelling errors, just to let you enjoy my job a little more :-)

My Favorite Food-Pizza by Danny B.
When you first smell the warm, comforting, mouthwatering aroma, it then puts you in a trance and escorts you to ancient italy. Then, I first sink my teeth in the lushes, soft, gooy cheese my mouth goes on a adventure. the dough is partly burnt on the crush, causing a doughy rush of flavor. And, the pepperoni it has a punch in the face of a spicy, tangy, jumpy flavor. Topping it all off is the tomatoe sauce which you don't notice at first because of the soft, white blanket of cheese. Then it rushes upon you like a huge raging waterfall of sauce.


Isn't that amazing?!?!?!? I gave him a standing ovation (a vocabulary word in my classroom-bonus points!) because I was so impressed.

Now, go enjoy your pizza, because I know your mouth is watering.........
