This idea involves the creation of a poem entitled "A menu to make your teacher angry."

First, let the class explore the phrases used in menu writing, e.g. on a bed of, in a sauce of, sprinked with etc.

Then get them to list all the things that make a teacher angry (they love this and the list seems to be endless!).

Now show them how to substitute the food for an item from the 'angry' list, e.g. A plate of ink spodges served on a bed of spelling mistakes, topped with crispy calling out.

The poem can have three verses - starters, main course and dessert.
