A Red-Riding Hood Story from China
Translated and Illustrated by Ed Young
Theme 4 Lesson 16 Day 2
Remember that one of the easiest ways to solve a problem
is to ask for help. Try to think of a time when someone
asked you for help. Maybe your helped someone find a
backpack, build a science project, or helped them
pronounce a word they didn’t know.
Someone once asked me for help with _______.
You will need to add two or three sentences about what happened-what
the person needed help with, how you were able to help, how you felt
about it and so on.

Notice that both words have the /or/ sound and the two words
rhyme even though one has a silent e at the end.^ You just have to
memorize spellings of words that have the /or/ sound spelled with
or or ore because there is no good rule when a word has a final e.

Now let’s read the genre study.
Fairy tales take place in a make-believe world. Many
fairy tales have been retold for centuries in different
forms. In most fairy tales, characters are clearly good
or bad. Sometimes the characters are talking animals.
Some characters may have unusual or special powers.
T 44
Can someone think of a fairy tale where a character in them was trying
to trick children?
The wolf from ”Red Riding Hood” .
Fairy tales almost always have a happy ending.
Now let’s copy the graphic organizer from the genre study and use it as you read
the story.
T 44
Comprehension Strategy
Read the strategy information on page 20.
When readers have trouble understanding what is happening in a story,
they often read ahead. Learning about what happens next may help the
reader make sense of the story. Then he or she can return to the confusing
text and read it correctly for understanding.
T44
As we read the story you are going to keep track of how the characters
are alike and how they are different and then we will answer the
questions.
T44
Now let’s look at pages 20 and 21
You will read a story in which three children solve a problem creatively. Can someone tell me how
you solved a problem in a creative way?
One purpose for reading a fairy tale is for enjoyment. Look at the title and the author’s name.
* To what fairy tale do you think “Lon Po Po” will be similar? Why?
“Red Riding Hood” because part of the title says that it is A Red Riding Hood Story from China.
* What do you think this story will be about?
Perhaps it will be about a wolf that tries to eat some people.
T45
Now let’s read pages 22 and 23

The mother is described as “good.” The wolf is tricky and disguises himself as an old
woman.
What does the name “Po Po” mean in Chinese?
gandmother
What is the wolf like? How do you know?
Tricky, dishonest, and dangerous and I know this because he disguises himself, wolves
in fairy tales are often bad.
How does the wolf try to fool the children?
He pretends to be Po Po. He gives answers that sound as if they could be true.
T47
Now let’s read pages 26 and 27
Why do the younger children let the wolf in?
They cannot wait to see their grandmother.
The author says the wolf is cunning. What details support this idea?
The wolf disguises himself; he pretends to be surprised that the mother is not home;
he answers questions as the grandmother might; or he blows out the candle.
What do you think the wolf will try to do? Why do you think that?
He will try to eat the children, because that’s what the wolf in Red Riding Hood does.
T48
Now let’s read pages 28 and 29
Why does the wolf pretend to be sleepy?
He pretends to be sleep so he can get the children to go to sleep and then eat them.
How does Shang learn that the wolf is not really her grandmother?
After she touches the wolf’s tail and claws, the light and catches sight of the wolf’s
hairy face.
Why do you think Shang asks the wolf about gingko nuts?
Shang has a plan for getting away from the wolf and the nuts are part of the plan.
T49
Now let’s look at pages 36.
1. How are Shang and the wolf alike? How are they different?
Shang and the wolf are clever. The wolf is greedy; Shang is brave.
2. Why does the wolf get into the basket?
The wolf wants gingko nuts from the tree.
3. Which story do you find more interesting, “Lon Po Po” or the read-aloud story
“Little Red Riding Hood?” Why do you feel as you do?
I think “Lon Po Po” is more interesting because Shang outsmarts the wolf. It was also
interesting to read a story set in China.
T53
Now let’s read pages 30 and 31
How is Shang different from her sisters?
She is the eldest; she is more clever; she is the one who discovers that the wolf was
lying and thinks of a plan to trick the wolf.
What do you think Shang and her sisters will do with the basket? Why do they want
to pull the wolf up into the tree with them?
They might drop something on the wolf; they might put the wolf into the basket and
pull it up into the tree and drop it.
T50
Now let’s read pages 32 and 33
How does the wolf feel about going in the basket after the first time he
falls?
He wants to go in again because he really wants to taste a gingko nut.
What does the wolf do?
He gets a basket and rope and lets the girls pull him into the tree. The basket falls
twice and the wolf becomes angry.
Why do you think Shang lets the wolf fall the first two times?
It is part of her plan; to scare him; to hurt him.
T51
Now let’s read pages 34 and 35
Why does Shang cough?
It is a signal to her sisters that it is time to let go of the rope.
Why do the girls climb down to the branches just above the wolf?
They want to stay away from the wolf if he is pretending to be hurt or dead.
What lesson does the story “Lon Po Po” teach?
You need to listen to you parents and be careful about whom you let into your home.
T52
4. How can you tell that the author likes the characters of Shang and her sisters better
than the wolf?
The author tells how clever Shang and her sisters are. The wolf dies.
5. What made Shang suspicious that the visitor was not her Po Po? Use examples
from the story to support your answer.
Shang noticed the wolf’s voice, tail, and claws. She saw the wolf’s face.
T53
Now let’s look at pages 37 and learn about the author and
illustrator.
Ed Young has illustrated over forty books for children. Born in
China himself, Ed Young gets inspiration from Chinese paintings.
He also does a lot of research before he begins illustrating because
he wants his pictures to be exciting and believable.

Check Comprehension
Retelling
Comparing and contrasting characters, settings, and events can help readers
better understand the stories they read. How are Tao and Paotze in “Lon
Po Po” alike and different.
They are alike because they are both Shang’s younger sisters. They are different
because Tao is plump and Paotze is sweet.
Now you will use the graphic organizer you made before we started reading the story
to help you summarize “Lon Po Po”. Remember that your summaries should tell the
important events.
T54
Fluency
Accuracy
As you read you should read at a comfortable rate and read
each word accurately and clearly. Since some words may be
spelled almost the same as other words that sound different
or have different meanings, it is important to look at each
word carefully.

GRAMMAR
Adjectives
Adjectives are words that describe nouns – people,
places, and things. Many adjectives tell what kind. For
example, these adjectives can tell about the color, size,
shape, smell, age, or temperature of something.
The young girl saw a brown bear in the woods.
In this sentence young tells what kind of girl the subject
is, and brown tells what kind of bear the object is.
T 56
Guided Practice
The dog small ran away.
Who can tell me what kind of dog this

For tree – big, towering, young, tiny, green
Now you are going to choose two that you think will work
best and rewrite the sentence using those adjectives you
wrote. After you finish your sentence then share them
with your partner and I will be calling on someone to
share theirs with the class when we have finished.T 56
