Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (Classic Board Books)

Product Information

The book has a framing story that begins with a mishap during breakfast. The grandfather is inspired and tells the children about a place called Chewandswallow where the weather brings food three times a day. Except near the end of the town's existence, the food gets too big and starts to be a threat to the well-being of the townspeople. Tell students that when they are summarizing a story to somebody, they usually do not have the book available to look through as they are talking. Explain that you want them to write and draw their own summary of Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs so that they can summarize the story to you and to their family members at home. This lesson, which focuses on summarizing, assumes that students are already familiar with basic Story Elements, including character, plot, and setting. Summarizing also requires students to be familiar with sequencing events and determining importance. If students are unfamiliar with these concepts, you will need to take some time introducing them. Materials Begin by telling students a story with the title "The Worst Weather I Ever Experienced"—for example, a time you were caught in a hurricane, a snowstorm, or some such experience (the more death-defying, the better.) Make it as dramatic as possible. Make it a long story, with plenty of details.

Divide students into seven groups (one for each section of the story map) and give each group one section of the story map. Explain that you are going to read Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs aloud to them and they are going to write or draw the information in their section of the story map. Tell them that you are going to stop reading at certain points, and groups should talk about what you have read to figure out if they need to add any important information to their section of the story map.

All kinds of food: toast and jelly at breakfast, hot dogs for lunch, even lamb chops for supper. (This is decidedly NOT a vegan book.) Every day it's something different, but then something not-so-good happens...

As the story goes; Chewandswallow was mostly like any average small town but because the sky provided all the food, the town was devoid of food stores. Unlike typical weather, the weather over Chewandswallow always consisted of food, and came three times a day, at breakfast, lunch, and dinnertime. The town also had a sanitation department; a food-cleaning service that would clean up food left over. It also fed the fallen food to the dogs, cats, land wildlife and sealife, and also used other leftovers to enrich garden soil. For the residents of Chewandswallow, this was a much better arrangement. Next, ask a student to tell you the story, with "just the important parts. Keep it short and sweet." Quite likely, the first child who tries this will provide too many details. Say, "Too many details!!! Someone else try. I want just a summary. Keep it short and sweet." Keep going until someone gives you a really nice, short summary.
