Class Work
We will discuss the homework stories from last Thursday on this Thursday. Save your notes.

Let's watch
I. The Three Little Pigs meet Little Red Riding Hood - when stories collide!

• Story time: http://homepages.uni-paderborn.de/odenbach/wwwmath/pigs/pig3.html
• Group Activity - the story grows ...
• You will be getting into one of four groups.- no more than five in a group. Sign up on the sheet at the back table.
• Little Red Riding Hood
• Three Little Pigs
• Three Little Javelinas
• Three Little Pigs and the Somewhat Bad Wolf
• The True Story of the Big Bad Wolf
• Once you are in your groups, count off.
• 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.
• The show will go on Thursday.

Homework

Conduct research about the color RED. Consult at least two sources. 1. What is important about RED?

5. What books, songs, stories, movies, plays, or television shows feature RED in the title?
6. How is RED created?
7. What is usually associated with RED? List 10.
8. List your sources. Friends count as sources.
This is worth 25 points. Post in CANVAS.
Do NOT use wikipedia as one of your sources. It is OK to start there, but jump from there to more reliable sources.
