We had lots of fun last week comparing the characters and main events of two different Three Little Pigs stories.
1. What happens after the straw house falls down?
2. How did the wolf feel throughout the story?
3. Did the pigs have any help?
4. Where is the wolf at the end of the story?
5. Who is telling the story?
We used thinking maps and venn diagrams to organize our thinking. Afterwards, we practice constructing comparing and contrasting sentences! These are very challenging and exciting because they use conjunctions, the speaker has to be specific, and the points being compared or contrasted have to be on the same topic.
Students mastered at least 2 out of 3 of these points! But hey, we're working on it.
Here are some examples of their work.
