Fractured Fairy Tales
Lesson Outline
Ethan decided that he wanted to read and discuss books for our session today. I introduced him to fractured fairy tales which immediately peaked his interest. I pulled the original version of the Three Little Pigs in addition to The True Story of the Three Little Pigs and The Three Little Wolves and the Big, Bad, Pig. We started with the original story of the Three Little Pigs which Ethan was familiar with. After reading, we discussed the story, the characters, and the slight variations to the story that we had heard over the years. We then read The True Story of the Three Little Pigs written by A. Wolf. Victim for centuries of a bad press, Alexander ("You can call me Al") T. Wolf steps forward at last to give his side of the story which is that he was 'framed.' The character development for the wolf is hysterically funny and Ethan easily identified with the humor. He was able to verbalized the reasons why he liked this book so much and they all revolved around how humorous he felt the wolf's character was. After our reading and discussion, we ended the session by reading The Three Little Wolves and The Big, Bad Pig by Eugene Trivizas. This story puts a different spin on the fairy tale and sets the pig as the villain. However, this book has a happy ending where everyone becomes and friends and learns to live together happily. Ethan really loved some of the different elements that this book offered, especially the amazing houses that the wolves were able to create.
