2nd Grade Lesson on Fables: Comparing two versions of The Fox and The Grapes

First we read a traditional version of the fable and talked about how old the story is (3000 years) and what happens to old stories as they are retold.


Then we read a newer version of the same fable and talked about what was the same in both stories and what was different:

Activity:

Students drew something they wanted as much as fox wanted those grapes.  I then photographed their drawing and added it to a VoiceThread where students could record their thoughts about what it was they wanted and how they worked to get it.
