Which Fruit or Vegetable
Am I?
In the book, you will describe each fruit and vegetable on one side of the page. On the other side of the page you will draw or cut out a picture from a magazine of the fruit or vegetable described on the other side and write the answer (name of the fruit or vegetable). Here is and example of a page:
One Side: I am a root vegetable. I grow under the ground. I am orange, long, and hard. I am slightly sweet. You eat me raw or cooked. Who am I? Other Side: I am a carrot.

Directions for making the fruit and vegetable riddle book:
1. Use your worksheets to plan your fruit and vegetable descriptions.
2. Write your descriptions out on notebook paper. Turn them in to me to proofread and to check spelling and grammar.
3. Write your descriptions in your books (which I will provide you with). Don't forget to use the riddle format (see above).
4. On the back side of the description, draw or cut out and paste pictures (blackline masters from teacher or the computer or magazine pictures) of the fruit or vegetable described.
5. Decorate the cover of the book and write the title, Which Fruit or Vegetable Am I?
6. Read your book to the class.
Learning Advice
Provide as much information as the reader will need to guess the fruit or vegetable.
Make sure that you test your descriptions out on your classmates to be certain that you have included enough information to enable the reader to guess the name of the fruit or vegetable you have described. For example, if you describe a peach, it may be essential to include fuzzy peel (touch/texture) in your description so as to differentiate between nectarines (which have a smooth peel) and peaches. Both of these fruits are similar in all respects except for the texture or feel of their peeling.
