Goldilocks and the Three....???

Over the last couple of weeks, we have been reading various versions of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  Students got REALLY excited about this story and we used to hit many skills!  One of our main focuses was to practice retelling familiar stories.  Over a period of several days, we read almost ten different versions of Goldilocks, including Goldilocks and the Three Hares.  We practiced retelling it by using key words such as "first", "then", "next" and "last".  We talked about the beginning, the middle and the end of the story.  We also compared each version to see if they were the same or different.  Students were SO excited about it that they decided they wanted to write their own versions!  So, today, we finally began working on our own books!  Some titles include Goldilocks and the Three Princesses, Goldilocks and the Three Cows, and Goldilocks and the Three Sharks.  I can't wait to read the finished products!
