Description: This lesson provides an illustrated reading passage titled Harvester of the Earth's Treasurers. It is about cooking with Geraldine R. Aguilla who is the head cook at San Simon School on the Tohono O'odham Reservation in the Sonoran Desert of southern Arizona. The students are asked what fruits and vegetables were eaten at meals for a day (at home and/or school). List them on the board. Discuss the possibility of using them to make a picture. Guide them to think about the insides of the foods and the patterns they might have. Hypothesize what each one might look like if it were sliced from side to side. Objective: Students will create patterns and pictures, using fruit and vegetable pieces /slices with tempera paints.
