Folktales

This week we started a unit on different types of folktales.  The students read two folktales.  They were Lon Po Po and Little Red Riding Hood.  One of the activities they were asked to complete was to compare and contrast these two stories.  They completed a venn diagram on the website linoit. Then they had to create a paragraph that explained how these two stories are similar or different. Here are a few of these paragraphs.

There are many differences between Little Red Riding Hood and Lon Po Po.   One folktale is from China and the other is  from the United States of America.  The next difference between Lon Po Po is that the mom leaves but in Little Red Riding Hood the mom stays.  In Lon Po Po the mom walks to grandma's house  but in little Red Riding Hood the girl walks to her grandma's house.  Little Red Riding Hood had no siblings but in Lon Po Po there was Shang,Tao,and Paotze.  In Lon Po Po the ginko nuts were the distraction but in Little Red Riding Hood the yellow flowers were the distraction.   In Little Red Riding Hood the wolf ate her and the grandma but in Lon Po Po no one was eaten.  In Little Red Riding Hood the wolf was killed by someone putting rocks in the wolf's tummy, but in Lon Po Po the wolf got dropped in the basket and his heart shattered to pieces.  These two folks tales are very different.

Comparing Little Red Riding Hood and Lon Po Po

     We are comparing Lon Po Po and Little Red Riding Hood. Both stories take place in the          countryside and in the past.  Both stories have girls, and a wolf.  Also in each story the girls get tricked by the wolf.  In Lon po po and in Little Red Riding Hood they talk to strangers, which is wolf.  Also both of the wolves die, but in different ways.  In Lon Po Po the wolf dies by

falling out of the tree 3 times.  In little red riding hood the wolf dies by little red riding

hood putting rocks in the wolf's stomach. These are some things the same about Lon Po Po

The Differences Between Two Stories

There are many differences between Little Red Riding Hood and Lon Po Po.  The wolf in Little Red took place in the woods and had a hunter, but in Lon Po Po there wasn't a hunter and they lived in the country.  In Little Red riding hood and Lon Po Po the differences are Little Red walks to Grandma's house and there is one girl ,but in Lon Po Po there are three girls.  In little red riding hood there was wine and bread in the basket, but in Lon Po Po there was just food.  In Little Red Riding Hood she met the wolf in the woods, but in Lon Po Po the three girls met the wolf at the door.  In the story Little Red riding hood there was sunshine, but in Lon Po Po it was at dusk.  In Little Red Riding Hood she wore clothes and a red cape and a hood.  In the story of Lon Po Po the three girls wore regular clothes.  There are more differences than similarities.  They were both very entertaining and scary stories.

Little  Red Riding Hood and Lon Po Po

We are comparing Litte Red Riding hood and Lon Po Po. The first fact that shows how they're the same is the setting is in the middle of the country and long ago.  Also in both stories a character has a basket of food.  In both stories a character went to grandmother's house.  Also in both stories it involves tricks.  Another fact is Little red riding hood and Shang ask many questions. Another fact is both villains die at the end of the story.  The last reason is in the story the lesson is the same. The lesson is to listen to your parents and never talk to strangers.  These are some ways Little red riding hood and Lon Po Po are the same.
