The True Story of The 3 Little Pigs is a really funny and neat way to tell a well known fairy tale. The wolf tells the reporters that he did not mean to blow the houses down and eat the pigs inside. All the wolf wanted was a cup of sugar for his Granny's tea and he also had a cold himself. He went over to his neighbor's houses and tried asking them for sugar but sneezed and their houses fell in. The little pigs died and he didn't want to leave a perfectly good ham just laying there so he ate it.
The story is neat in the way that it is told from a perspective never told before. It is a parody like Shrek where the characters in the story don't always do the things that they normally do. I think that writing a parody would be a great exercise to do with your older students. They would enjoy it and would have a good experience.
Malory,
ReplyDeleteFirst off - I love the title of your blog. My oldest would want to be your best friend if she saw it. Secondly, the monster you picked is way cute.
Any how. I have never heard of this story, but after reading your blog, it too is a book I would consider reading. Your teaching idea is a good one. I would like to know what age/grade range you think the book would be appropriate for.
I will have to check this one out soon. My reading buddies favorite movie is Shrek and maybe this book could serve as the key I need to get him motivated to read.
This is one of my favorite books!! I always think it is so funny that someone wrote it from the wolfs point of view. I wonder if there are any other books that could be rewritten from another point of view...
