Draw a Selling Food Concept Web.
Read the sentence with the word wares again. Ask students to pronounce wares and discuss its meaning.

Brainstorm additional words and categories for the web. Keep the web on display and add words throughout the week.

The village market

Is a feast

For the ears, eyes, and nose.

Women and children chatter and giggle.

Goats and sheep bleat and baa.

Chicken cackle.

Women dressed in bright clothes and headbands

Wrap their babies on backs,

Balance their wares on heads.

Dogs steal.

Tortoises tied to stakes tug to break away.

Frightened monkeys climb their owners' backs.

A colorful collection of mouthwatering fruits:

Pineapples, mangoes, oranges, and pawpaw

Invite a bite.

Flies feast on sun-dried fish,

Dried deer meat,

And smoked snake.

The fragrance of palm sap

Foaming and fizzling in gourds

Lures drinkers to sellers.

The smell of cooked and raw,

Of sweet and sour mixing in the air,

Makes your head wonder

What's going on in your nose.
