The Gingerbread Man

This week I read a version of the story "The Gingerbread Man" to the class. We discussed the meaning of the word "version" and how sometimes authors will re-tell a story that has already been written but change it slightly. After reading the story and discussing how it may have been different from the version they had heard before, the students wrote in their writing journals about a Gingerbread Man. They could write their own version, design their own gingerbread man, or their own take on it as long as it involved a gingerbread man. Here are just a few example writings and drawings from their journals.

A gingerbread is on the grass. The gingerbread is happy.

A gingerbread man tastes good in the story that we just read. The gingerbread man was not nice.

Finally, thanks to everyone for supporting the class book orders. I was able to get this book, and many more, for our class due to your support!
