Mrs. Bradley's Grade 2
Foxes and Owls and wolves, oh my! We have been working hard over the past few weeks to write Legends about an animal from one either an Arctic, Prairie or Acadian community. We started the process by discussing what we already know about legends. We read many legends when we were learning about the First Nations people. We then moved on and began our planning. We all started with the same sentences to get us started. It took us many days to finish all our planning. We had to come up with a story about how an animal got it's special quality. Here are some ideas we came up with: -How the wolf got it's howl. -How the fox got it's orange color. -How the otter got it's tail. -How the bison got it's horns. -How the owl got it's talons. -How the wolf got it's sharp teeth. -How the whale got it's size. After we did all our planning, we started to write. We read "The Legend of the Beaver's Tail" to help us get started. We used the beginning of this book to help us with our legends:
Long ago, (insert your animal here) did not look like he/she does today. Our legends are coming along beautifully. We're almost done editing them and creating our good copy in the form of a book. The finished product will be posted soon!
