We have finally finished our novels and essays and have moved on to folklore. In this unit we will be comparing and contrasting various fables, myths, fairytales and legends from around the world. It is a fun unit, and most students seem to enjoy it. We have already begun comparing and contrasting fairytales. We have read Ashputtle and Cinderella; The Three Little Pigs, The Fourth Little Pig, and The True Story of the Three Little Pigs; Hansel and Gretel and Hansel's Eyes. The students have begun a new writing project. They are to re-write an existing fairytale or compose a new, original fairytale. The stories have been interesting so far. We will be completing this project next week in conjunction with computer class.
Just a reminder, ITBS testing will be conducted the week of March 8. Please make sure that your student gets plenty of sleep, eats breakfast, and (most importantly) attends school on those days!
