Compare and Contrast Two Stories of The Three Little Pigs
The second link is to our own school library. It is The True Story of The Three Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka. It is told in 1st person point of view, but from the perspective of the wolf. Click the link HERE to check out the book from our library.
Activity Idea: Create an anchor chart with your class. Create a venn diagram compare the two stories. If you class needs a challenge, instead of comparing the stories, compare the point of views. (i.e. how did the wolf telling the story change the feeling of the book?) See the picture in the upper right corner for an example. Enjoy!
Cinderella Stories
Here are some options of different versions of Cinderella with descriptions. Most of your students will know the traditional story of Cinderella. It might a good idea to review the story as a class before reading one of books listed below.
Cinderella Around the World
The Rough Face Girl By Rafe Martin

Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters: An African Tale
Mufaro's two beautiful daughters, one bad-tempered, one kind and sweet, go before the king, who is choosing a wife. This might be somewhat difficult for 2nd graders to comprehend, but it's a great version! I would recommend this book as a read-aloud. You can always re-read to dig deeper within the text.

Seriously, Cinderella Is SO Annoying!: The Story of Cinderella as Told by the Wicked Stepmother
