Teaching Ideas: |
|
| Teachers will want to help learners think about allegories and about the meaning of this tale. Symbolism abounds in both the easy-to-read text and the woodcut illustrations. Discussion or writing may center on what the tiger is meant to be or what the "tiger" is in one's own life which might be an introduction to autobiographical writing. Family literacy participants will find much to discuss related to parenting. | |
