Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs is a great fantasy book for students. The town of Chewandswallow was just like a regular town- except it didn't rain rain and it didn't snow snow. The weather provided the townspeople of Chewandswallow their meals- breakfast, lunch and dinner. Whatever the weather served, that is what they ate. Everyone loved this, until the portions started getting bigger and so did the food. Something had to be done!
I would want to read this book to my students while doing a weather unit. We could talk about how this book IS a fantasy and how this could never really happen in our lives. We would talk about what does happen with the weather. I created this PowerPoint presentation based on the book, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. I created a breakfast and a lunch page. I would show this PowerPoint presentation to my students and then have them create a page for dinner.
