We've all got a good start on our food paragraphs! I think this is what everyone's doing:

Jojo - Tapioca
Ren - Chanpon
Nozomi - German Potato Dumplings
Sophie - Dango
Richie - Doner kebab
Angus - Waffles
Maya - Dried fruit
Natsuko - Okonomiyaki

For your homework, please write a first draft of your paragraph, including a good topic sentence that explains what the paragraph is going to be about. Next week we'll take a look at your first drafts and work on improving them.
