You’ve read the story of Peter and the Wolf before:  this is a different type of story in a different way.  It is the story of Peter and the Wolf, okay?  I’d like you to read it and then I’m going to ask you answer some questions, okay?  

Okay, can you just read that last paragraph for us out loud?

The wolf jumped about but he could not get loose.  Then Peter heard some shooting.  Some hunters came into the garden.  “Don’t shoot,” Peter cried.   “We have caught the wolf.”

Well done, that’s terrific reading.  What do you think ‘quacking’ might mean?

His um, duck sound.

Duck sounds:  how did you know that?  How did you work that out?

Because it’s the sound of the word.

And you’ve heard a duck quack?

Yeah.

Okay, that’s clever thinking.  Mm, so what was that story all about that you’ve just read about Peter and the Wolf?  What was it about?

It’s about the wolf, he ate the duck, and that’s all.

Is that all that happened in the story?  The wolf ate the duck:  anything else happen in the story?  

He um, he, the hunters came…

Okay, so what…?

…and tooked his, the wolf to the zoo.  Um, Peter went out to say, “Hello,” to the um, bird.  

When did that happen?

At the beginning.

The beginning of the story.  So what was the problem of that story?

The problem is, I think Peter, he tied wolf, the wolf.

He tied the wolf:  why did he want to tie the wolf?

So the wolf can’t, the wolf can’t, because he’s dangerous.

Because he’s dangerous, so you think that’s the problem, the wolf being dangerous?  Okay.  What about if you, on this piece of paper here, could you draw the beginning, the middle and the problem, and the ending of the story, just to show the different parts?  You know how we’ve talked about parts of a story?  Okay, here’s the pencil:  let’s go.

Wow, look what you’ve drawn:  you’ve drawn the beginning, the problem, the middle and the ending.  Can you tell me about the different parts of the story?

The beginning Peter said, “Hello,” to the bird.  At the problem, um, the duck and the bird was fighting.  In the middle Peter did a lasso to the wolf.  At the denning [sic] and denning…

At the ending.

…ending the wolf, they took the wolf to the zoo.

Okay, so before you talked about the problem you said that the wolf came along, where’s the wolf in this picture in your problem?

Um…

You said the wolf was dangerous.

Yeah, oh.

Where is he?  Is he hiding somewhere perhaps?  

Yeah, he was hiding.

He was hiding.  Alright, so what’s the problem going to happen in this part of the story if the wolf is hiding and we’ve got the duck and the cat?  Remember what you read:  what happened?  

Um, the wolf went closer and closer to, and he, he got the duck.

He got the duck.  Ah, that would be a big problem.  Okay, who is the most important character in this story?

Peter.

And who are the other characters?

Bird, cat, duck, the wolf and the grandfather.

There are lots of characters.  Well done.  Why do you think Peter wanted to catch the wolf? 

Because the wolf is dangerous for everyone.

What would you do?  Would you do something like Peter did?

Yeah, this tricks.

Sorry?

Trick, to tricked him.

You’d like to trick him?  How would you trick him?  Would you do the same thing?

Um, call um, call the hunters.

That’s a good plan.  Mm.  Can you describe Peter?  What do you think, what’s he like?  

He likes um…

Not what he likes, but what is he like as a character?  How would you describe him?

He’s happy, smile, brave.

What makes him brave?

Makes him, the wolf.

What about the wolf?  What do you mean? 

Um…

He looks very brave there, doesn’t he, and looks very happy.  What’s making him brave there?

He got, he got the rope and he’s happy.

So he’s happy?  What do you think is going to make him brave?  

Um, to bring, they’re going to him bring to zoo.

Okay, that’s a plan.  Good, well done.  I think you read that story very well.  Congratulations.
