Folktales A folktale is a short story that has been passed down orally from person to person. Folktales have been told over the course of many generations. A folktale usually has a message, lesson, or moral. In some folktales, the main character must find a clever way to solve a problem. Folktales always have a problem the characters have to solve. Usually has a message or lesson. We know that The Real Story of Stone Soup is a folktale because The Real Story of Stone Soup tells a story that is very old. It was probably passed down in families. Evidence on page 279, I read, “… You have probably heard the old folktale about stone soup… The truth is that stone soup was invented here in China… Here is the real story. ”
What is Sequencing? Sequencing refers to the identification of the components of a story or event— the beginning, middle, and end. The ability to retell the events in a text in the order in which they occurred. You can sequence events by first, next, then, and last(finally).
VOCABULARY
CHARACTER TRAITS NARRARTOR (UNCLE) – sneaky, claims he works the hardest but really makes everyone else do the work. Takes credit for someone else’s work. CHANG BROTHERS (Ting, Pong, and Kuai)– according to the uncle they are troublesome, lazy, and not the smartest. They are hard working and intelligent.
What is the sequence of how the brothers made Stone Soup? First, the brothers dug a hole and lined it with leaves. Then, they put water in it. They built a fire next to the hole. Next, they put stones in the fire. They put fish, vegetables, and eggs in the water. Finally, they took hot stones from the fire and put them in the water. This heated the water and cooked the soup. It is difficult to see the full picture of each page in the video. The pictures show that the boys are adding ingredients while the narrator is not looking. They must have added the ingredients when the uncle was busy making the bowls, chop sticks, and getting the sesame oil. So the stones are NOT really making up the ingredients of the soup!
