Title: Peaches Galore: A Close Reading Packet for National Peach Month
As part of National Peach Month, this educational Close Reading packet gives you a full look at the popular summer fruit and what it means to people in agriculture and culture. The packet is meant to be used during August, which is National Peach Month. It talks about different parts of peaches, such as their past, how they are grown, their health benefits, and how they can be used in cooking. The main part of the packet is peach-related articles, historical information, recipes, and fun facts. These are meant to get students interested in learning about gardens, farming, and how peach production affects the economy. This is especially important in late summer, when peaches are at their best. This is a great time to talk to students about seasonal foods, healthy eating, and farming customs.
