We discussed the differences between Carolee's experience with the criminal and the news report of the experience. At the center of this discussion was the idea that point of view really affects how a story is told.
I then read aloud The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, which is a retelling of the tale, from the wolf's perspective. We discussed how the change in point of view affects how we understand the story.
Then, students were asked to select a fairy tale and practice re-writing it from a new perspective. These were handed in at the end of class, and we will work with these next day.
