In class I read Martina the Beautiful Cockroach by Carmen Agra Deedly and illustrated by Michael Austin. This is a Cuban folktale.
Please write how this story is similar and different to the story we read called La Cucarachita Martina. Think about the character and also what happened in the story to help guide you.
Good Luck!
Last week we read the story called Grandpa Toad’s Secrets. This story is an animal fantasy story that takes place in a forest. In the story Grandpa Toads teaches Little Toad a very important lesson.
Why is the story an animal fantasy?
What are the 3 secrets Grandpa Toad tells Little toad while walking in the forest?
In class we read I wanna Iguana by Karen Kaufman Orloff and illustrated by David Catrow. In the story Alex is trying to convince his mom to get him an iguana for a pet.
Just like Alex you will write a letter to Ms. Parra telling her why it would be a good idea to get an iguana for a pet.
