Description
Almost everyone loves a good pizza! But how many upper elementary and middle school students know about the long and interesting history of pizza, a relatively ancient snack that has developed into the world’s favorite meal in the past one hundred years? This informational article provides the historical “back story” of pizza and is an engaging way to learn more about the dish that is the most popular meal in America.
This Common Core-aligned text is teacher and student-friendly and written for use in Grades 5-8. It can be implemented in a number of ways by teachers (close reading, direct instruction in class, independent practice, absence work, homework, test prep, assessment, centers, etc).
The product includes:
