RESOURCE: Gator Gumbo by Candace Fleming
-----------------------------------------
Today we discussed how the author created a fractured folktale. I told you that fracturing a story is like fracturing a bone, it’s broken.
- What kind of story is usually fractured?
- How does the author but it back together again?
- What is the part of the original story that the author usually keeps?
- Can you remember some verbs from the book? Tell me what the animals did.
- Did you guess the same ending as Candace Fleming? If not, tell me how you would have written the ending.
You can post your answers on the Blog Page called, Student Work or email me your creative ideas. Have Fun!
