Comparing Similar Stories

Today we spent our reading block comparing two very similar stories. First we read "The Three Little Pigs" and then we read another version of the story called "The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig." It was a new story for everyone and we really enjoyed the different version!

I inherited a large venn diagram pocket chart from a teacher at our school who retired last year...and I love it! We used it for the first time today as we looked at similarities and differences in the two books.

 While we created the large venn diagram, students made their own at their seats.

We had fun reading different versions of essentially the same story. This might be an activity we'll have to repeat later in the year with different stories!
