My unit plan is over fairy tales. Below are a list of books that I could use to help further my students understanding of the concept.
Peter Pan By: JM Barrie
The Little Mermaid By: Hans Christian Anderson
The Ugly Duckling By: Hans Christian Anderson
Stone Soup By: Ann McGovern
Rumpelstiltskin By Paul O Zelinsky
Rump: The True Story of Rumpelstiltskin By: Liesl Shurtliff
Samurai Santa: A Very Ninja Christmas By: Rubin Pingk
Perfectly Norman By: Tom Percival
The Three Little Pigs By: James Marshall
The Three Little Pigs By: Al Dempster
I have chosen these books because they allow me to integrate a variety of cultures along with traditional fairy tale text that we know and love. I will use two versions of The Three Little Pigs to compare and contrast. I will also allow students to read these books from the classroom library.
I like your book choices. A lot of times people don't think about reading the same book by different authors but it is a very good way to help students make comparisons and build their schema. -Rebekah Hedge
ReplyDeleteSamurai Santa is a new one for me, I'm going to have to check that one out! I love the idea of comparing the story of the three little pigs, there are so many different stories told from almost all available viewpoints. This is a great way to discuss literature and the ways it not only changes as its passed on, but how that change relates to history and culture. This is such a simple yet powerful gateway into a wonderful discussion about literature.
ReplyDeleteExcellent list, especially for the cultural aspect. Saved your link for future reference.
