I Love You More Than Applesauce I love you more
than applesauce, Than peaches and a plum, Than
chocolate hearts and cherry tarts And berry
bubble gum. I love you more than lemonade, And
seven-layer cakes, Than lollipops and candy
drops And thick vanilla shakes. I love you more
than marzipan, Than marmalade on toast, Oh I love
pies of any size, But I love you the most! By
Jack Prelutsky

Hershey Kiss Paragraph

• Title - HERSHEY KISS PARAGRAPH Materials
  Enough Hershey kisses for every student,
  computer, Word or PowerPoint. The purpose of
  this writing assignment is to teach the students
  to write about sensory details, and express their
  minds about the way they look at things.
  Directions Pass every student in your class a
  Hershey's Kiss. Set the Kiss down on their desks,
  and tell the student's not to touch the Kiss, to
  leave it exactly where you placed it.
• Next tell the students to imagine that they have
  never seen the piece of candy before and have
  never heard of a Hershey's Kiss before. Then
  have the students "Free Write" about what the
  device sat on their desk looks like to them,
  except a piece of candy.
• Next have the students to pick the object up,
  without opening it up, and on the same page "free
  write" about what the object feels like to them.
  
• Then have the students open the substance up and
  place it in their mouth and without writing "it
  tastes like chocolate" "free write" about what it
  felt like, and tasted like in their mouth. On
  the next PowerPoint slide or Word page, have the
  students put their free writing into a paragraph,
  or essay. After their paragraphs are written,
  go around the room and let the students share
  what they thought the object placed on their
  desks looked, felt, and tasted like to them.
