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.

17. Can someone think of a fairy tale where a
character in them was trying to trick children?
T 44
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.

T44
When readers have trouble
understanding what is

track of how the characters are alike and how
they are different and then we will answer the
questions.
T44

20. Now let’slook at pages20 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?
T45
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.

21. Now let’sread pages22 and 23
Where is the mother going?
T46
When should the children close and latch the
door?
They should close and latch the door at
sunset.
She is going to see the children’s
grandmother.

22. Now let’sread pages24 and 25
How are the wolf and the mother different?
T47
What does the name “Po Po” mean in Chinese?
gandmother
The mother is described as “good.” The wolf is tricky and
disguises himself as an old woman.
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.

23. Now let’sread pages26 and 27
Why do the younger children let the wolf in?
T48
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.
They cannot wait to see their grandmother.
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.

24. Now let’sread pages28 and 29
Why does the wolf pretend to be sleepy?
T49
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.
He pretends to be sleep so he can get the children to go
to sleep and then eat them.
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.

25. Now let’slook at pages36.
1. How are Shang and the wolf alike? How are
they different?
T53
2. Why does the wolf get into the basket?
The wolf wants gingko nuts from the tree.
Shang and the wolf are clever. The wolf is greedy; Shang
is brave.
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.

26. Now let’sread pages30 and 31
How is Shang different from her sisters?
T50
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.
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.

27. Now let’sread pages32 and 33
How does the wolf feel about going in the basket
after the first time he falls?
T51
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.
He wants to go in again because he really wants to taste
a gingko nut.
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.

28. Now let’sread pages34 and 35
Why does Shang cough?
T52
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.
It is a signal to her sisters that it is time to let go of the
rope.
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.

29. T53
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.

30. Now let’slook at pages37 and learn about theauthor and
illustrator.
T53
Ed Young hasillustrated over forty booksfor children. Born in
Chinahimself, Ed Young getsinspiration from Chinesepaintings.
Healso doesalot of research beforehebeginsillustrating because
hewantshispicturesto beexciting and believable.

31. 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.
T54
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.
They are alike because they are both Shang’s younger
sisters. They are different because Tao is plump and
Paotze is sweet.

32. 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. T54

T54
Now you are going to follow along as I read page 22 in
“Lon Po Po.”

Emphasize clear and accurate reading.

38. GRAMMAR
Adjectives
T 56
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.
In this sentence young tells what kind of girl the subject
is, and brown tells what kind of bear the object is.
The young girl saw a brown bear in the woods.

adjectives for each noun in this sentence.
The cat climbed the tree.
For cat - small, yellow, black, large, striped;
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.

Look through “Lon Po Po” and find four
names of characters that have been
capitalized and write them in your notebook.
Now we are going to make a chart together
about the characters you wrote.
