Reading Diary B: West African Folktales


I have been wanting to read this story since Laura told me about it in one of my comments. I was not really sure where this story was going to go, but I enjoyed reading it. If there were not brackets explaining who was the king, chicken, and tortoise, it would have been really confusing. I am glad that they brought the tortoise back to life. 


This story was interesting that the leopard and the ram were friends. However, the first paragraph had me thinking that the story line was going to be different. I was not expected the story to be about how the leopard and the ram got their food. 

This story caught me by the title. Of course you know that the story is not true, so you want to know how much of imagination they have. It was very interesting and could be used for a storytelling post since you can change the story line to whatever you want and just stick with the title. 

I really enjoyed this unit. It was a little different than the other units that I have been reading. However, the stories all were interesting and the titles were very catching.
