Twisted Tales
The Bearskin Rug…Or something else: An Unfortunate tale of the Three Bears and a Little Girl with a Red Hood.

Resources Include a PDF document which can be displayed on an interactive board so that it can be used as a class reader or printed off to be read to the class. The story is in five sections to be read over five days. To promote class discussion and debate, a Powerpoint presentation is also included. It contains five open ended questions for each section of the story.

This Twisted Tale recounts the events that take place after an accidental meeting between the three bears and a young girl wearing a red hood. It sounds innocuous enough, but who would ever imagine that wearing a papier-mâché nose would ever change the world so completely. There is a happy ending of sorts, but one has to ask if it is the sort of ending you would expect in a tale where everything is supposed to end happily ever after.
