The following was posted on Facebook by some of my relatives. Take a moment today to remember 9/11/01.At this moment 13 year ago, millions of Americans went to bed quietly with no thought that the next morning their world would change forever.

That night hundreds packed flight bags they would not live to open. Thousands slept with loved ones for the last time.

One never knows what a new day has in store.

Let us live each day to the fullest and never miss a chance to let those dearest to us know of our love for them.

So, tonight, if you have people  in your life whom you love, tell them . . .



Class Work

1. What did you discover about wolves?
2. Back to Peter and the Wolf - discussion to follow.
Think back to what we learned about wolves . Is the wolf in Peter and the Wolf anything like the real creature?
 3. What is the message in the story? What can we, the viewers, learn about human nature from the story? What is your "take-away?" What do you think? Would you like the children you know to see the movie or listen to the music? Explain. (After table discussion, this will be an in-class writing exercise. Please post in Canvas. This is a group discussion, but it is an individual writing exercise. Please use complete sentences and paragraphs. You have up to 15 minutes to complete the work.) (20 pts.)

3. The Three Little Pigs

• Story time: http://homepages.uni-paderborn.de/odenbach/wwwmath/pigs/pig3.html
• Group Activity - the story grows ...
• You will be getting into one of three groups. No more than 10 people may be in any one group.
• Count off by 2s.
• Even #s will be responsible for the first half of the story
• Odd #s will be responsible for the last half of the story.
• Read through the story. Figure out how to get EVERYBODY in your sub-group to take part in a reading for the class.
• The ultimate goal is to entertain us with a reading. Use vocal inflection. Music/singing is OK. Beat out a rhythm. Chant. Be creative! Create some sort of sound-effect for each character. (Remember Peter and the Wolf?)
