Big Bad Wolf Compare & Contrast


As we continue working with compare and contrast this week in the classroom... this is a fun activity to compare/contrast the Big Bad Wolf character in the fairy tales, "Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Three Little Pigs". The mini-anchor chart will help your students remember what compare and contrast mean. You can also use the Wanted Poster for any fairy tale villain you are reading about with your class. 

In addition to comparing and contrasting, I have also included some other activities for story sequencing, retelling, and more.

Included in this activity...
~ Wanted Poster for your fairy tale villain
~ Example of how to create a wanted poster for the Big Bad Wolf (Three Little Pigs)
~ Example of how to create a wanted poster for the Big Bad Wolf (Little Red Riding Hood)
~ Big Bad Wolf compare/contrast Venn Diagram activity
~ Compare/Contrast mini-anchor chart
~ Story retelling for The Three Little Pigs
~ Story retelling for Little Red Riding Hood
~ Author's Corner writing activity for The Three Little Pigs
~ Author's Corner writing activity for Little Red Riding Hood
~ Story sequencing for The Three Little Pigs

~ Big Bad Wolf ABC order activity

The Venn Diagram activity, story retelling, and story sequencing are a great way to assess your student's comprehension and understanding of the characters, events, and main ideas of these fairy tales.

Solar Car Show & Tell

One of my super amazing second graders brought in a solar powered car that he built all by himself for show & tell during our science unit on The Sun's Energy. The whole class absolutely la-la-loved it... and were completely amazed to see the car moving solely by the sun's energy. I cannot thank my super amazing second grade scientist enough for such a GREAT show & tell!!


Here is a little video I made just for him... I even used music from the Disney Car's soundtrack (he loves that movie)!! :)
