<p></p><p>Made using Publisher 2007. We used the 3 pigs as a story-start method of discussing materials. The children evaluated the materials used in the story beforemaking their own shelter for a toy pig. They used materials found in the classroom. I was the big bad wolf who had to blow down the shelters with my hair-dryer. The children loved it and it generated discssion about materials and design of structures. This sheet was used in guided recording sessions. For those people who don’t know publisher, you may need to change the view option if you are only able to see the front cover.</p><p></p>
