CHOC: From Pod to Tum, an illustrated book about Chocolate with resource pack

Hi Fellow Teacher / Homeschooler:

**Do you have some children reluctant to write or read?
They could benefit from a topic that stimulates their senses and motivates them.

**Do you need a book and resource pack to spark and framework your new Chocolate project ?

CHOCOLATE! Just the name evokes tastes and smells…the peeling away of the gold wrapper to reveal the shiny bar. THIS will get the senses immersed.

Take a moment to fast forward : children will be bombarding you with facts about chocolate as well as more awareness about where food comes from, displays with vibrant chocolate wrapper designs and lots more…

Here’s what’s included with CHOC From POD to TUM by Rupert Vincent and Manu Grinon; PDF version ideal for whiteboard presentation

• Highly interactive text and illustrations to get children talking and building new vocab.
• The ever present Chocolate Monster to guide you
• Knowledge of the Cacao tree, pod and beans
• A refection point on how hard farmers work
• The 12 steps of the Chocolate making process
• Perfect opportunity to explore and taste real chocolate so that children gain more descriptive language through their senses
• A Brownie recipe to go with the animated 'Let’s Make Brownies video (see resource pack link below); a great cooking activity and an opportunity to write some instructions from hands-on experience
• The Chocolate Song; to simply have fun singing a new catchy song as well helping remember the chocolate making process (Tune is Chick Chick Chicken)
• Talking points about healthier eating choices especially sugar (Cacao has some nutritious properties like magnesium)
