Process
First, you will locate two copies of Little Red Riding Hood. One must be an older version of the story and one must be a newer version- written in the last 20 years up until today. You may check your school library or your local library for the books or you may check out these websites for versions of the story as well.
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Red_Riding_Hood
- http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/type0333.html (this website gives a few versions of the story)
Next, you will decide what project to do- a PowerPoint presentation, a book cover, or a three-sided cardboard project board. If you are working in a group, decide what project to do and discuss what you learned from the books, about the characters, the setting, and about the story. Next, organize your project by deciding who will do what part of the project. If you are not working in a group, make a list of what you learned from the books and organize your thoughts before you start work on your project.
Finally, you can begin to work on your final product. Everything has been organized and you know what you need to do.
- For the three-sided cardboard project board you must use images from the story. These can be found by searching Google for images. Use www.google.com and do an image search for Little Red Riding Hood. You can also find images using Clip Art on your computer. Place these in different places on the board. Second, you need to have summaries of the two versions of the stories. This can be one section of the board. Talk about the characters and what happens in the stories. Third, list the characters and describe them. This can be another section of the board. For the last section, talk about what you liked and what you did not like about the stories. Also talk about the differences of the two versions- who were the characters? what was the setting? what happened in the story? On the first section of the board, list the authors of the two books and the year that they were written.
- For the book cover, pick which version of the story you want to use: the older version or the newer version. You can use manila paper or a large piece of computer paper. You can decorate it with images from the story using your computer or drawing your own pictures that will show what happens in the story. You should also list the characters in the story that you picked and summarize the story too.
