Discovering the Different Produce Used In the Making of a Veggie Turkey
created by Teresa Fasolino.

Above is a picture of a turkey made entirely of produce. I took this image into Santa Rita Elementary (Los Altos, CA) and asked the students to guess the individual produce the turkey was made from. I then contacted the artist with our answers and she gave us an A to A- (we got three things wrong).

I then asked her if I could publish our corrected quiz sheet answers and her response to our project utilizing her work on the Kranky Kids® website - and she gave her permission. Below are the correct answers and Teresa Fasolino's response:

Dear Lishka,

I got a big kick out of your email. The students get an A. to A-. The beak
is actually sage like the wing and the squash above the acorn squash is
butternut. The apples were tiny ones I picked up at the Union Square
market called Lady____ something or other- apples very small so the scale
would not be too far off from the small pears. Everything else is correct.
Turnips were also correct.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your students

Teresa
