Reading – Today, we are going to begin our unit on
fractured fairy tales. A fractured fairy tale is when the author takes the traditional
version of a familiar story and changes certain parts of it. Other parts stay the same so the reader knows
what the original story is. Listen to
the traditional version of The Three Little Pigs here…
Then watch the “fractured fairy tale” here…
Make a T-chart on a piece of paper. On the first side, write
down five things that stayed the same in both versions of the story. On the
second side, write down five things that changed in the fractured fairy tale
version.
Math: Zearn 30 minutes
Thursday:
Reading – Think
about the classic version of the Three Little Pigs you watched yesterday. Now listen to this version of the same fairy
tale here…
Think about what was different
in this version. Who is telling the
story? Think about the Wolf’s feelings
and motivations. Why did he eat the first two pigs? Write a retelling of this story and send it
to me in Office 365. Make sure your paragraph contains detailed sentences, is
in sequential order from beginning to end, includes some dialogue, and contains
correct capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. *Submit in Office 365
