Little Red Riding Hood

Lesson 1

Now you have read the story of Little Red Riding Hood, and have told it to someone else in your family, it’s time to do some writing. For this you are going to need a piece of paper and then find the slide of Little Red Riding Hood. Here’s the link again:

Little Red Riding Hood

Can you describe what she looks like? This might include how old she looks, what she is wearing and carrying. Practice saying your sentence out-loud first. Then write it down. Don’t forget, of course, capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. Here are some words you might need:

cloak   basket   hood    cheeks    curl    apron

Lesson 2

Can you make a Wolf Wanted Poster? Use all your brilliant skills for describing the wolf.  Remember to mention his crime (what he did wrong). Draw a picture too.

Use this link to give you some ideas:

I love the word ferocious. What does it mean? Can you use it in your description?

Lesson 3

Watch and listen to this poem based on the Little Red Riding Hood story. It’s by Roald Dahl from a book called Revolting Rhymes.  He wrote some very famous books too, like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.The pictures are drawn especially, by an illustrator called Quentin Blake.

How is the story different? What was funny or scary? Why do you think the poem is in a book called Revolting Rhymes? What does revolting mean and can you think of another word that is similar to it?

We would really love to see any work you do!
