Introduction
(10 minutes)
- Begin by writing the following sentence on the board: I can compose a beautiful melody.
- Underline the word compose, and ask the students to turn to a partner and think of a definition for this word.
- After discussing their answers as a whole group, tell the students that the word compose means to create something by combining things or parts.
- Explain to your students that they will create or compose a tossed salad by combining different ingredients and parts together.
Beginning
- Define melody as a song or tune. Model composing a melody by making up a simple song and singing it to the class.
- Show students a picture of a salad, and ask them to name ingredients used in salad. Display and label photos or drawings of different salad ingredients.
Intermediate
- As students to give you a thumbs up if they have ever cooked something, for example a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or macaroni and cheese. Tell students to turn and talk to a partner about which ingredients, or parts, they used to make the dish.
