- Spaghetti, spaghetti, all over the place,
Up to my elbows--up to my face,
Over the carpet and under the chairs,
Into the hammock and wound round the stairs,
Filling the bathtub and covering the desk,
Making the sofa a mad mushy mess.The party is ruined, I'm terribly worried,
The guests have all left (unless they're all buried).
I told them, "Bring presents." I said, "Throw confetti."
I guess they heard wrong
'Cause they all threw spaghetti!
- Shel Silverstein
During our Science unit Spot the Difference students in Room 11 investigated the difference between uncooked and cooked spagetti. They role played being uncooked spagetti and slowly boiling in a pot, becoming curly, soft, entangled and of course, cooked!
Students were then asked to use cooked spagetti to re-imaginate apart of the poem 'Spagetti' and were asked to write adjective to describe the cooked spagetti.
It was a fun and messy lesson.
