This creative Pizza Collage: Art Unit was designed to be printed and displayed as examples while you teach. Use this Google Slide file to display these beautiful images one-by-one on the big screen. For this assignment, I asked students to make a Pizza Collage of their favorite type of pizza. Lots of students love just a Cheese Pizza, but when they see all the types of delicious paper toppings they can add to their special pizza, they can’t wait. Students learned tracing, cutting, gluing, and placing (overlapping) skills during this 2-Day Art Unit. Students shared who they were making the special pizza for and their favorite pizza toppings. I love hanging these out on the gallery ceilings. I hope you and your kiddos love this! Enjoy!

Lesson Objectives

• Define "idiom" and distinguish its figurative meaning from the literal.
• Identify idioms in literature, specifically through a read-aloud activity using "More Parts" by Tedd Arnold.

3. Read-Aloud Activity: Use "More Parts" to highlight idioms in a humorous context. Discuss the meaning behind idioms like "I'll bet that broke your heart" or "He nearly jumped out of his skin."
4. Class Collaboration: Brainstorm a list of idioms students know, compiling them into a classroom chart.
5. Creative Closure: Have students pick a favorite idiom, illustrate its literal and figurative meanings, and present their work.

Assessment and Student Outcomes Students will:

• Demonstrate their understanding of idioms by identifying, explaining, and illustrating them.
