Croissants, Popcorn, and Brownies


Today students gave presentations on food from either breakfast or lunch. After they gave their presentations, the class shared their food together. Here are some examples of what two students presented.

Ibrahim presented croissants to the class. He usually eats them for lunch. The main ingredients of croissants are butter, flour, milk, sugar, and salt. Some croissants have too much sugar, so they are not good for you if you eat too much.

Alia presented popcorn and brownies to the class. She usually eats popcorn when she goes to the cinema. She makes brownies because they are easy to make. The main ingredient in popcorn is corn. The main ingredients in brownies are flour, butter, cocoa, eggs, milk, and sugar. Both popcorn and brownies are snacks or desserts, which are not usually good for you.

Homework for Tuesday

Milk

The drink I brought to class today is milk. These days I don't drink milk often. When I was a child, I drank milk everyday. That's why I'm so tall. I like milk because the taste is smooth and delicious. The main ingredient in milk is 100% milk from Wisconsin cows. Milk is good for you because it has a lot of calcium and vitamin D. Milk is best for babies and little children. Milk is also good for the economy of Wisconsin.
