Teachers! Autumn recipe continued...

Back to my Recipe for an Autumn Potion (see yesterday's posts)...

Here are some ideas for the next stage of your poem, after writing up all those quantities and ingredients.

Method:

First, let children have fun selecting cookery instructions, such as:

mix/stir/fold/blend in, beat, whisk, mash, sieve, bake, boil, simmer, fry, roast, chill, freeze, decorate.
Rhyme time? There are many simple and amusing rhymes to be found in such instructions, especially with a few prompts and guidelines. Here are some examples:

beat it/eat it; roast it/toast it; mash it/bash it; grill it/chill it/distill it/kill it(?!); whirl it/hurl it, bake it;shake it.

How about a bit of slap-stick too? Here are some ideas to spur more:

fill it/spill it; drop it/mop it; pat it/splat it; boil it/spoil it; shake it/break it; smack it/whack it; sip it;tip it.
Leave to set, but where? After all the snappy fun and slapstick comedy, a new wave of mystery, linking in with those intriguing ingredients (see yesterday's posts) would be a thrill. Set ideas rolling with a few mind-boggling suggestions:

On top of a cloud (and what sort of cloud?)? On another planet (what sort?)? In the flare of a firework spark? On top of or under a tree (again, what sort?)? In a different region (jungle, desert, ocean, pole, magic land?)? In a different century or millennium? In something abstract, such as a dream, memory or mood? Or just under a pile of leaves (what sort?)?
Serve with?  A side of chips (for comic effect)? Or something weird and wonderful, in keeping with the qualities of autumn?

Artwork: an illustration would enhance the finished recipe, of course. Individual or group work, though? Card-sized or classroom-sized?

Music: finally, how about setting - or helping your class to set - a group recipe to music? The result could be sung, clapped, percussion-accompanied, and performed with accompanying actions... Ah, but it's half term, isn't it, or almost: time I left you in peace!
