Work For Friday, 4/12/13: The Three Little Pigs.

Hello! Here is the low down on what we did in class--You have three task to complete. 1)You are to read the story of The Three Little Pigs. 2) UNDERLINE all the evidence you can find that will help you answer the following questions. 3) Answer the questions on a separate piece of paper.

Here are several points to keep in mind: All answers must be derived from the text. In other words, the evidence found in the text gives you (or maybe it does not give you, so you are unable to answer ...) your answers. You must give full, detailed answers. Finally, remember to think through your answers. Yes, you are reading a child's tale, but that does not mean you cannot dig deep into the text.

You may be asking yourself, "What is the point of this assignment, Ms. B?" The point is to teach you, with a simple story, how important it is to know and understand your evidence in order to formulate logical, fact-based opinions/claims, and answer questions in a relevant informed manner.

So, off you go! Questions? Email me at carleen.burnell@slcschools.org.

· What do you think the pigs’ parents were like?

· What kind of relationships do the pig brothers have?

· Was the wolf evil?

· Was the wolf more or less clever than the average wolf?

· How could these three confrontations have been avoided?
