Students will retell the story from the point of view of the gingerbread baby, explaining why he didn't want to be eaten and how he felt about the world he explored.
Materials: - Gingerbread Baby by Jan Brett
- 11x8 paper which has the outline of the gingerbread baby.
- Draw lines on the bottom half for writing and leave the top clear for illustrating.
- You will need several sheets for each child, so copy-copy-copy!
- If you can find it, light brown copy paper adds a nice feel to the project.
Plan: - Talk a little bit about a character's point of view. I like to
read THE TRUE STORY OF THE THREE LITTLE PIGS BY A. WOLFE.
- Discuss how his point of view is different from the pigs.
- Then list on the board the story of Gingerbread Baby from Mattie's point of view.
- Next to it discuss how the Gingerbread baby saw the same events.
- Pass out the "Special Paper" you created and have the students write the story from the baby's point of view.
Comments:
I hope to engage children in the writing process to encourage a life long love of reading writing and learning!
