Listen to the story: A Tale of Two Beasts

A Tale of Two Beasts - Storyline OnlineThere are two sides to every story. In Part One, a little girl finds a strange beast in the woods and takes it home as a pet. She feeds it, shows it off to her friends and gives it a hat. But that night it escapes. Then, in Part Two, the beast tells the story of being kidnapped by the girl, who force-fed it squirrel food, scared it with a group of beasts and wrapped it in wool. Can the two beasts resolve their differences? A Tale of Two Beasts is an eye-opening story that makes you look at things from a different perspective.

Discuss: Point of View and Voice

- There is a difference between Point of View and Perspective.

• Point of view: who is telling the story, or part of a story – who is giving the information.

• Perspective: How a character feels about something – the character’s take on what happened based on attitude and beliefs

- A Tale of Two Beasts, tells the same story from two different points of view: the little girl’s and the animal’s. The facts are the same but how each interpreted the facts are very different, based on their perspective.
- Look at the event list below, these facts are a summary of the story, they tell what happened in the story. However, the point of view from which the story was told created two different stories. The character’s perspective caused them to interpret the facts very differently.

FACT: A little girl is walking in the woods and sees an animal hanging from a tree.

FACT: The little girl takes the animal.

FACT: The little girl wraps the animal in a scarf.

FACT: The little girl takes the animal home and cares for it.

FACT: The little girl shows him to her friends.

FACT: The little girl opens the window.

FACT: The animal leaves.

FACT: The animal comes back.

Looking at the facts, would the story be different if told from the perspective of Lord Rex? Discuss.

Enrichment:

Students can use the facts list to rewrite the story from beginning to end from the perspective of Lord Rex.
Students can create a comic strip telling the story from each character’s perspective.

Measurement, data, and geometry | 2nd grade | Math | Khan AcademyFirst, we will measure length using unit squares and rulers, compare and estimate length, and solve length word problems. Next, we will read and make picture graphs, bar graphs, and line plots. From there, we will tell time on analog clocks and count U.S. coins and dollars. After that, we will identify quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons. Finally, we will break shapes into equal parts.

Identify geometric solids (3D shapes) (practice) | Khan AcademyIdentify prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones, and spheres.
