    My First Entry: The White Fang I love the way the author represents the wild life. The wild life actually seems like our society in some ways.

I was getting curious about how they thought they were going

    Little Red Riding Hood is a book I would use in second-grade as part of the Common Core standards for recounting fairytales or folktales and determining the message or moral. It would be beneficial to read this traditional version of the story to the students and then the Chinese version, Lon Po Po, by Ed Young. I would have the students write a letter to Little Red Riding Hood explaining what she should watch out for the next time she visits grandma’s house. This would be a creative way to have
