( happy lively music) - Hi everybody, welcome back to "Teaching in Room Nine" the area's largest classroom.

I'm Mrs.

Forth from the Rockwood School District.

Today is our last day of really working on comparing and contrasting.

What do you remember about those words?

What does that mean to compare, that's right it's to talk about things that are the same.

When we compare, we're thinking about what's similar, what's the same.

How are these things alike?

And then what about contrast, contrasting is to tell what's different.

We can compare and contrast objects, people and even stories.

And that's exactly what we've been working on together.

We've been reading different versions of the same story over the last two weeks.

And we're gonna finish that up today.

Yesterday I read the story of "Little Red Riding Hood" that's right you remembered.

And I used the book from when I was little.

This is a really old book, but the story is still just as fun to read isn't it?

So we'd listened to me you listened to me read "Little Red Riding Hood."

And then afterwards, we kind of made a chart, thinking about who the characters were, what was the setting, and what were the events that took place in the story?

What happened at the beginning, the middle and the end.

And we're gonna use that chart to help us compare and contrast, with another version of the story.

This version is called "Little Red" by Bethan Woollvin.

This is published by Peachtree Publishing.

And I really love this story because, as you will see it's very different.

That's actually a gift that this author has, if you look her up you'll notice that she has lots of newer versions, of some stories that we know really well.

So if you like this book make sure you check out some of her other books too.

So "Little Red" you can already tell there's a difference in the title isn't there?

The title of the other book was "Little Red Riding Hood," this one is Little Red.

So I'm curious, is she just called Little Red or is she called Little Red Riding Hood?

So let's jump into this book, and see what happens in this version of the story.

And how's it the same, and how is it different from the version that I read to you guys yesterday?

Go ahead and fix my camera so you guys can see the whole book, "Little Red."

I just love this book even here look at that.

Look at that, isn't that amazing what they've done?

Like a fun little surprise.

You can see a little red here and here's the wolf.

One day, Little Red Riding Hood's mother called to her, "Please take some cake to your grandma" she said "She's not feeling too well."

So Little Red Riding Hood set off on her journey through the forest to grandma's house.

Did I skip a page I did.

Before long she met a wolf.

"Where are you going?"

he growled.

Which might have scared some little girls not this girl.

"To my grandma's" Little Red replied.

"She's not feeling well."

"Is that right?"

Said the wolf.

So let's take a minute and compare.

We just found out that, this character is pretty brave isn't she?

Which might have scared some little girls but not this girl.

Well, I remember in the version of "Little Red Riding Hood" we read yesterday, this little girl was also brave.

If you look at this picture right here, she does not seem to be scared of the wolf.

She's kind of like, "Hey, leave me alone, I got to get to grandma's."

So this is similar isn't it?

The characters are both brave.

And he made a plan.

See what's he thinking inside his head?

He definitely wants to eat the grandma and the little girl wolfs they're always the villain in these stories aren't they?

The wolf said goodbye to Little Red Riding Hood, took a shortcut through the trees, and found grandma's house.

He is in the woods can you see?

Which was unlucky for grandma.

That's right he ate the grandma.

That's definitely different than in the version that we read yesterday isn't it?

What happened to grandma in the book that we read yesterday?

She ran away she got away and she ran to get help didn't she?

But grandma was not so lucky in this version.

He put on your glasses and spare night dress, and climbed into grandma's bed.

And there he waited.

Oh yeah tell me, that is the same.

You're comparing those stories 'cause you're finding that things that are the same.

In the other version, the wolf also put on glasses, and the night dress or night gown and got into the bed.

In both stories the wolf is pretending to be grandma.

It wasn't long before Little Red arrived and found the door to grandma's house was already open.

She peeped in through the window.

Smart little girl.

And said she couldn't see grandma but she could see a badly disguised wolf waiting in grandma's bed.

She knows that's not her grandma.

She's too smart for that.

Which might have scared some little girls but not this girl.

She made a plan and went inside.

"Hello Grandma," Little Red Riding Hood said, and though she wasn't fooled for a minute, she played along with the wolf's disguise.

"Oh grandma!

What big ears you have!"

She said.

But can't you just kinda hear her being a little teasing in her voice.

You wanna try reading that part with me?

Okay ready?

"Oh grandma!

What big ears you have!"

She said.

Why don't we read the next part too.

"Oh grandma!

What big eyes you have!"

she said.

And "Oh grandma!

what big teeth you have!"

she said.

That is the same in both books, but I get the feeling that it sounds a little different and this one because, she knows that's the wolf and she's being sarcastic isn't she?

"Why?

Yes my dear" replied the wolf.

"All the better to..." Oh a lot of you were saying eat you with.

That's what happened in the last door.

Let's see if that's gonna be the same.

Oh yeah.

It's the same eat you with!

And the wolf left forwards which might've scared some little girls.

But not this girl.

She's like, "I'm not scared of you silly wolf," but not this girl, which was unlucky for the wolf.

What happened?

She got the wolf didn't she?

That's very different.

There she is using the wolf's fur.

Let's see what's happening in the past five years there a surprise.

Oh, this book says Rapunzel, guess what?

That's right.

This author wrote a book about Rapunzel.

Was this pretty different?

It definitely was different.

It was a little bit darker is what they would say.

It wasn't like a typical like and they all lived happily ever after in the end.

There were some other parts of his book that were very different.

Let's go ahead and fill out our chart, so we can compare and contrast these two stories.

So this one was called "Little Red."

And who were the characters?

We definitely have a Little Red What about grandmother?

Although she was in it, she didn't last very long she only lasted on one page.

Because the wolf got her so the wolf, that makes me notice that we forgot to add the wolf over here didn't we?

And was there a woodcutter?

Not in this one.

So let's talk about the characters and maybe use some of our vocabulary that we've been practicing together the last couple of weeks.

Remember if we're comparing things that are the same, these are some words that we like to use : both, too, similar, alike, also, the same.

If we're contrasting finding things that are different we might use unlike, but, however, different, while.

So let me hear it, when we're thinking about the characters, tell me somethings maybe that's the same or something's different.

They both have a wolf great.

In "Little Red Riding Hood," there's a woodcutter but not in "Little Red."

Great comparing and contrasting readers.

Let's think about the setting.

In the first version they were in the woods and grandmother's house.

What about this one?

Where really were they?

It's kind of the same, they were in the woods and also grandmother's house.

So we could definitely compare because so much is the same.

Go ahead try it out.

In both stories the setting is the same.

And let's think about the events.

What happened at the beginning of the version we read yesterday?

That a Red Riding Hood was taking a basket of traits to her grandmother and she saw the wolf, same or different?

That's the same isn't it?

And she was brave, that's also the same.

So the story started in a similar way didn't they?

Let's think about the middle, in the middle the wolf pretended to be grandmother, same or different?

That's the same.

Were there any differences about the stories in the middle?

The wolf ate the grandmother in this one yeah and not in that one.

So, the grandmother got away in the first version but not in this one.

That's right Little red, she knew the whole time it was the wolf in this version.

We weren't really sure if that was the case in the first one.

So that could be something that's a little bit different.

And then the end in the version we've read it yesterday, my little book from when I was little, that's right the woodcutter chased the wolf away.

We didn't even have a woodcutter in this version so how did this story end?

Little Red, captured the wolf didn't she?

So she was her own hero, she didn't need the woodcutter in this one.

And that's actually something that Bethan Woollvin really likes to do in her versions.

She wants to make sure that she's showing that little girls are just as powerful and they don't always need somebody to rescue them.

So I'm wondering if in her book "Rapunzel" if that's what happens.

Maybe she doesn't need anybody to rescue her, like in this story of Rapunze you'll have to check out her book to find out.

Hey readers, thank you so much for hanging out with me over the last couple of weeks as we really worked hard to compare and contrast I really feel like you guys are comparing and contrasting experts now don't you?

So don't forget when you're reading stories or thinking about characters or even noticing things in the world, you can compare and contrast.

You can find ways that they're the same, and also find ways that they're different.

Happy comparing and contrasting, it's time for you to head off to math.

I'll see you next time bye readers.

- Thank you for an amazing book Mrs Forth.

Deep breaths ready.

(inhales softly) (exhales softly) Again.

(inhales softly) (exhales softly) Last time.

(inhales softly) (exhales softly) (claps) Let's check out my final, less than five minute tasks for you.

This one really got me.

All righty five minute task.

This is my clean clothes, I have to separate all my dirty clothes into our baskets and get one load of laundry started.

So let's see how long this takes me.

I wish I could set up some music for you guys to listen to, but I can always sing for you instead would that be better?

Probably not.

But some people might like my singing.

Do you help your parents out in the laundry at home?

I sure hope you do I know I do.

I mean my mom made me when I was little, I didn't love it, but now I know how to do my own laundry.

Mr. Wright he likes to just throw it all in there, doesn't separate the colors, but I have taught him that you gotta separate the colors.

The white laundry goes with white laundry because you don't want any of it to change colors.

You wanna keep it that pretty color that it is.

These things are always all over my house I feel like dryer sheets.

Not sure why there's roll of tape in here, but there is that's okay.

All right.

Almost there.

Let's see how much time I'm at right about one minute.

This is my messy Saturday hair, hope you like it.

I think it's my best look.

All right.

Should we practice counting by fives again?

Let's go.

Zero five, 10 15, 20, 25 30.

(claps) I even have laundry up the stairs.

35, 40, 45, 50 55, 60, 65, 70, 75.

Let me hear ya, 80.

What's next?

85, 90, 95, 100.

Almost done separating.

I think that this will be a five minutes or less task.

'Cause I'm at about three minutes, man I'm really proving in all of these videos that there's no excuse not to chores, because, well, they're pretty quick.

So, last couple of pieces of laundry.

Oh, these are actually clean.

That's weird.

This all goes in one pile.

My masks get washed on their own.

Oh, almost there.

Let's see if I can get a load started in five minutes getting really close putting in the detergent.

I'm really far away can you still see me?

Woo right here.

Put in the detergent going to put in all of these, my load of white laundry dump it in.

Whoops forgot one thing.

Now, close it, turn it on, and less than five minutes, laundry is going.

Can you believe that?

I for sure feel like laundry takes hours.

I cannot stand sorting the laundry and I feel like it takes for ever.

So to know that it takes less than five minutes.

Come on.

All right, I am going to give you a time on the clock and then we're gonna talk about what do you do in the AM and what do you do in the PM?

Okay are you ready?

Here we go.

♪ Time on the clock clock clock ♪ Okay let's see.

First of all, I would like you, to tell the time for me.

Let me hold it up for you.

Can you tell the time for me, remember when that hour hand is in between those two bigger numbers, it's in-between for a reason.

Because it's in between two hours.

So think about what hour it is, and what hour we are halfway to.

Nice, good.

This time is 2:30.

We are just past the two, this would have been the two o'clock hour.

And our main hand is down here at the 30.

So our hand is starting to move towards the three.

We are halfway between the two o'clock hour and the three o'clock hour.

So it would be 2:30, and you would write that as such, just like this 2:30.

Now think about AM and PM for a sec.

Remember AM and PM.

Am is the hours from 12 midnight to 12 noon.

Lunchtimeish.

Then PM is from 12 noon to 12 midnight.

So what are you doing at 2:30 AM.

Yeah you're sleeping.

If you're like me maybe you're tossing and turning a little bit, but yes you're sleeping.

What are you doing at 2:30 PM.

Okay maybe you are like doing science or we just finished math in my room.

Maybe your school gets out a little earlier than my school.

Maybe your work like heading like wrapping up your day.

Kind of almost heading home.

On the weekends 2:30, That's when Mrs. Wright about to take a nap.

That's about my nap time.

So, let's try another time.

I'm gonna show you a time on the clock and I want you to try and figure this one out.

This one's kinda tricky.

We talked a little bit about this the other day.

What time do I have on my clock?

Remember the hour the hand is the shorter hand.

The minute hand is the longer hand.

Counting by fives around the clock.

What time do you think it is?

Perfect, it is 4:15.

So this is four o'clock right here, and then we went five, 10, 15.

We're at 4:15.

Now what's another way of saying 4:15.

Kind of like when the old people talk like that don't tell anyone I said that, my dad talks like that sometimes I'm like, "Dad can't you just say 4:15?

Nope he is like "It's a quarter past four."

Sounds so fancy quarter past four is the same as 4:15.

What are you doing at 4:15 AM.

4:15 AM.

4:15AM looks like this when you write it.

I bet you already wrote it.

What are you doing at 4:15 AM.

4:15, Whoa, 4:15 AM what are you doing?

You're sleeping.

You're sound asleep I hope that's kind of when I am getting a little restless.

What about 4:15 PM.

Some of you are home.

We dismiss it 3:50, so this is usually when I'm making it back to my classroom after my duty and I'm kind of sitting down, maybe chatting with some of my friends, checking my emails and kind of wrapping things up for the day.

4:15 PM.

All right, let's do another one.

Are you ready?

I hope so.

Lemme show you this last one hang on.

Come on clock here we go.

(screams) Every time.

Okay good.

It is drum roll please.

it's not a very good drum roll.

It is 7:45.

Good job.

This clock is showing 7:45.

So this hour hand is between the six and the seven it's not all the way on the seven yet because we are not all the way until seven o'clock.

But around our clock is 45 minutes.

If we know that this six marks 30 minutes we can count from there.

35, 40 45.

So, Oh I wrote 7:45 oh my gosh.

That's why you guys were looking at me like I was crazy.

6:45, not 7:45 guys.

6;45.

(laughs) 6:45 which another way of saying that is, quarter till seven.

My dad would appreciate that quarter til seven.

Good job.

It means we only have a quarter of the way around the clock, to go until seven o'clock.

So let's go to seven o'clock are you ready?

45, 50, 55, 60.

We are at seven o'clock.

What are you doing at 7:00 AM?

Ooh you're waking up, maybe you're already at school or on your way to school.

What are you doing at 7:00 PM?

Some of you guys are starting to watch a movie, maybe your help cleaning up dinner.

Does anybody in bed yet at seven, not quite, nope.

Some nights I can go to bed at seven if that tired.

All right okay guys.

Now I'm going to show you a time on our analog clock, and it's kind of our yes our digital clock.

2:50 is the time on our digital clock.

Now I want you to close your eyes, and visualize this 2:50 on a digital clock.

Can you visualize it on an analog clock?

Close your eyes.

I know you can't build it 'cause you probably don't have a clock, but can you visualize, Now it's 2:51 but it's okay 2:50.

2:50 on a digital and visualize it on an analog.

Let me show you.

This would be two o'clock right here that our hand is pointing at the two.

So now I am going to find 50.

Are you ready?

Here we go.

Five, 10, 15, 20, 25 30.

This is 2:30.

Do you need to revise your visualization?

Okay, 35, 40, 45, 50.

Good this is 2:50.

That our hand basically looks like it's on the three, and we're just 10 minutes from three o'clock.

All right guys, that is it for telling time.

I hope that I helped clear up any confusion you have, and keep practicing.

You can practice this every single day, just by looking at a clock.

Do you want to say hi?

I'm gonna have to bribe her hold on.

Come here come say hi.

If you wanna treat you gotta say hi to these friends.

Come here silly.

Oh.

Hi.

Say hi.

Good girl.

Oh good girl Molly.

All right see you next time.
