From Cocoa Bean to Chocolate

  During the first week of our chocolate unit, we read the book From Cocoa Bean to Chocolate by Robin Nelson. Before we began reading our story, the students worked on an Anticipation Guide. They were allowed to work with their groups. The students also worked on finding information in informational texts by completing comprehension worksheets. During this week we also worked on steps in a process. Click on the Kisses below to link to the worksheets that I have developed for this book.
