This is the classic tale of three bears who lived in the forest and find their home broken into by Goldilocks. The bear family, consisting of Papa bear, Mama bear, and baby bear, decide to go to the forest for the day. While they are gone, a blonde-haired little girl named Goldilocks visits their house, eats their porridge, sits in their chairs and ultimately falls asleep in baby bear's bed. When she tries to find the right sized porridge, chair and bed, Goldilocks notices that there are three different sizes for each item. She finds that Papa and Mama bear's stuff is too big, and always seems to think that baby bear's things are "just right". When the bears finally come home and find Goldilocks in the bed, they are surprised and eager to meet her. However, when Goldilocks wakes up and sees the bears surrounding her, she runs away into the forest.
After reading this story, I would have students do a writing activity by rewriting the story ending or changing Goldilocks to a boy. After students complete the new versions of the story, we will combine them into a class book. With younger students,such as Kindergarten, I would have them do a sequencing activity using pictures from the story to make sure they understand the order of events.
