YOUR VERY OWN FACTORY Now you are going to create your own

unique factory. You can make it just a chocolate factory or

you can have other candy too. Each student will invent and name their own

candy that will be made by your factory. Be creative and have fun!

*Putting it together* After completing your questions and

deciding what kind of factory you are going to do, you are going to make a power point to explain your findings and to show the class what kind of factory you came up with.

Each student must talk about what is in the candy they created and why they chose the name they did for their candy.

CONGRATULATIONS!You are now proud owners of your first candy factory! Great job creating new and exciting pieces of delicious candy! I hope you are proud of yourselves for doing such an excellent job and I wish your factories the best of luck!

5 Teaching Extensions Watch the movie Charlie and the Chocolate

Factory. Write a paper comparing the book and the

movie. Create their own golden ticket for their candy Bring in different kinds of candy and test

them out like Roald did when he was in school.

If possible, take a trip to a candy factory near by.

EvaluationThe end product of this lesson will be the presentation of the answers to the questions you answered and the factory that you have created.

Teamwork, and creativity will be evaluated as well. The more interesting and creative your factory is, the better you will do.
