How To
Make an Apple Pie and See the World by Marjorie Priceman Summary: Making an apple pie is usually easy for the young baker except when the market is closed and no ingredients can be bought. The reader is taken on a journey around the world to find the finest ingredients to make a delicious apple pie. Concept: Productive Resources Definition: Productive resources are the natural, human, and capital resources that are used to produce goods and services. Comprehension Questions: Describe the problem at the beginning of the story. (The ingredients for the apple pie could not be bought because the market was closed.) List all the natural resources and ingredients that were gathered from each country to use in making the pie. (Italy - semolina wheat; France - chicken for eggs; Sri Lanka - bark from the kurundu tree for cinnamon; England - cow for milk, ocean - seawater for salt; Jamaica - sugar cane for sugar; Vermont - apples) After all the natural resources and ingredients were gathered, it was time to make the pie. Identify the capital and human resources needed to produce the pie. (human resources - girl; capital resources - grinder, bowl, stove, pot, churn stove, pan) Explain why the pie in this book probably tasted better than if the market had been open. (The little girl gathered only the finest ingredients for the pie.) Other
