Three Little Pigs & RED

Class Work

1. Return to your Three Little Pigs groups and practice one more time. Create "background" on a board. Markers are available.

Let the show begin! Remember that each person must speak. Use facial expression, vocal inflection, and movement as appropriate. Help the audience to have fun! (100 points possible)

2. Here is a wolf story you might not have heard: http://blog.dictionary.com/tuesday/ Read and react - class discussion.

3. The story of Little Red Riding Hood: http://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/LittRed.shtml (Read Aloud . . . parts will be assigned . . .)

So, what is significant about "red?" What if she had been wearing blue, or yellow, or green, or purple, or black?

You will "adopt a color" to research and to present. You need to:

• Introduce your color - have fun with this! Entertain us!
• Compare it to other colors - is it superior or inferior to other colors?
• Tell the history of your color (Check out a dictionary site.)
• Tell of your color in stories, art works, and nature.
• Tell who or what "wears" your color.
• Explain why your color is or is not important.
• ell how the story of Little Red Riding Hood would have been different if she had been wearing your color. ("No change" is not an acceptable response!)

Keep track of your sources and include them in your last slide. (Seven slides are required plus the Works Cited page. ) We will present a week from today on 9/ 23/14. You have at least 2 1/2 minutes but no more than 5.) (100 points)

For your viewing pleasure . . . "Red" is alive and well!
