Class Work

For homework, you are to write yet another version of the Three Little Pigs. Instead of pigs, use the animal you researched. The plot will be somewhat the same, but you may add a twist. Be sure you have a message for the readers and listeners. If wolves do not live where your animal is found, what predators do live there? Use that character for the "villain" in the story. Have a bit of fun. Post in Canvas. Be ready to share your story with a group on Tuesday. This is worth 50 points.

You should be able to post Just the Beginning now. Take a moment to do that. I do apologize for the delay.

1. Let's share the beginnings of the story. Your table needs to join another table. Share your beginnings. Vote for the top two best beginnings to share with the entire class.

2. Return to your "Three Little Pig" reading groups. Take about 10 minutes to practice. You will be sharing with the class. You earn 25 points for doing your part well!

3. Why are there three critters? Is it a simple matter of "good, better, and best?" Or, is it something else? Consider

What do you know about the number three? Do some research. Why is that number important? Does it have the same importance across cultures? Share your findings on CANVAS. Be sure to give credit to your sources - at least two.

In addition, explain in what way the information is associated with the story of the "Three Little Pigs."
4. If time permits... we will play Story Cubes. You get to be the story creator!
