THE THREE LITTLE PIGS AND OTHER STORIES

Traditional stories have been tried over a long period of time and they are familiar to the children. The texts are often highly patterned and may feature repetition and choruses. Because there is a repetitive structure,  in a rhythmic way, children can participate easily.

For example:

'Wolf: Little pig, little pig! Let me come in.

Pig: No, no. By the hair of my chinny chin chin, I will not let you come in.

Wolf: Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down.'

Books based on "The 3 Little Pigs":

'THE TRUE STORY OF THE THREE LITTLE PIGS'
By Jon Scieszka

'Is the Wolf a villain or a victim?'

This book is fantastic to impove writing. Before we read the book, we could talk about:  

. Is it fair to know just one side of a story?
. Did someone hear the wolf's side of the story?
. And what happens in other fairy tales?
. What about Little Red Riding Hood?
. Was she a nice girl or a very naughty girl that was always getting in trouble?

* I  normally intruduce the vocabulary related to the story before I read the book/tell the story. I  teach vocabulary using flashcards because reinforces words during learning and allows pupils to obtain the meaning quickly.

En español:

 "La auténtica historia de los tres cerditos"

¿Es el lobo un villano feroz o una víctima?

 Cuando hay un conflicto ¿es una buena idea escuchar sólo a una de las partes? Con el cuento "Los 3 cerditos" sólo conocemos una versión. Pero ¿y el lobo? ¿Alguien ha escuchado la versión del lobo?
