Three Little Pigs Literature Study Pt.2

This past week we finished up our literature study of Three Three Little Pigs. On Monday the weekly graph was “Which Three Little Pig Story Was Your Favorite Last Week?” Below is a picture of our graph results.

 

Here is our finished story element chart on some of the books we read during our study.

 

How to Trick a Wolf

As a writing/art activity we completed a Cut and Create pig and the students wrote about how they would trick the wolf in the story.

 

          

          

 

Vegetable Soup

During math time the students played Three Little Pigs Vegetable Soup”. They rolled two dice together, added the numbers then collected the ingredient to go into their soup. The winner is the first person to collect all their ingredients. I’ve seen this idea on many blogs and created one to accompany our lit study. I forgot to take pictures of the kids playing it.

We had a great time with this study. It really helped the students comprehension. I think I’ll incorporate more literature studies in the coming year, along with the non-fiction units of study I have planned.

Have a great week!

The Three Little Pigs Literature Study

This week we started a literature study of the Three Little Pigs. On Monday we created a Circle Map with all the things we knew about The Three Little Pigs story.

The students were also given a Three Little Pigs Reading Response Log. This is where we are keeping all the information about our literature study. We completed a Story Map after we read each story.

After reading a few stories we created a Noun Chart. The students each choose a noun from the stories to illustrate.

 

Here is the beginning of our Story Map chart. This is where we will place all the story elements of each story we read.

Yesterday our Buzz Book was devoted to describing the Big Bad Wolf. The students later completed their own charts in their Reading Response Journals

 

 

 

At the beginning of next week we will explore variations of The Three Little Pigs. Here are just a few of the books we’ll read.

 

Have a great weekend.
