2nd Graders recently completed a unit on Jack and the Beanstalk. We began with a movement activity with the story that paired movement and sound with the original story. The following week, we read Kate and the Beanstalk by, Mary Pope Osborne and compared and contrasted it with the original story. Finally, students were challenged with creating an original "prequel" to the Kate story that showed a trick the Giant might have played on the knight to get the castle away from him. Scenes had to include a beginning, middle and end, as well as dialogue that made it clear what the trick was without actually telling us. Everyone worked so hard and came up with such funny and original ideas! The above pictures demonstrate just some of the fun that was had. Enjoy!
