Introduction
Everybody knows the story of The Three Little pigs... well, we think we do! We have yet to hear the wolf's side of the story! You know, the saying is, there are always two sides to each story! What side will you choose?
Task
Students will read and listen to the original story and "The True Story of the Three Little Pigs" and will write and illustrate what they believe truly happened. Will you choose the wolfs side or the pigs? why?
Process
After hearing both sides of the story, you will come up with what you believe the true story was! Some things to keep in mind includes:
1. Was the wolf actually bad? Do you think he had a cold and blew down the house? Or do you think he had other intentions?
2. Were the pigs to blame?
3. Where do you think the pigs got the materials to build their homes? It never says within the book!
4. Put yourself in the shoes of the wolf AND the pigs for a moment... what would you have done if you were the pig or the wolf?
