Another version of "Little Red Riding Hood"

Now let’s try listening to a fable. A fable always ends with ‘a brief moral observation’. Do you remember any of the most famous? Aesop’s “The Turtle and the Rabbit”?
We’ll listen to a ‘modern’ fable by James Thurber (an American writer), it begins with a very short introduction about the author and the journalist Keith Olbermann reads four fables.
Just listen to the first one. (Of course you can listen to the other ones whenever you have time)
Write the title of the fable on a piece of paper, draw the ending of this fable, and write the moral of the story, the lesson of it. Bring it on Monday August 30..

Time to share and compare

Our first activity is to share our notes on the two activities we made in class: reading the first chapter of the novel and watching the very first scene of the film.

In the comment box write a complete sentence adding your comparison to a character, a detail, a dialogue, this is what we will call 'collaborative writing'. At the end of the activity we'll have a summary of this comparison. Go ahead! DON'T FORGET TO SIGN YOUR NAME.
