The Tortoise and the Hare is a classic fable that tells the story of two animal friends that decide to race. The hare believes he will win no problem because he is so fast and the turtle is so slow! But, the turtle also thinks that he is going to win and that the hare is going to lose.
The race begins and the hare was off to a big lead and decides he has time to stop and rest, but he overslept and the turtle passed him! Will the turtle pass him or will the hare catch back up? To find out who win The Tortoise and the Hare is a classic fable that tells the story of two animal friends that decide to race. To find out who wins you will have to read the story for yourself! This book should be used in grades 3rd or 4th. I would first use this book to talk about the significance or the fable.
We would talk about how the turtle won the face because he was slow and steady and took his time rather than rushing through everything like the hare. This is important in school because you do not want to rush through all your stuff just to get it done but to take your time and make sure you do it right. Another thing we would talk about is perseverance. We would talk about this because in the book even though the turtle was far behind he never gave up and kept trying his best and eventually he ended up winning because he never gave up.
While the hare was over confident and did not persevere through the race, instead he stopped to rest because he thought he would win no matter what. This teaches students that perseverance is so important and that they should never give up because they will get to where they need to go and will "win the race. This was a WOW book for me because it is a simple fable but has so many good lessons within the book. It really is a great way to teach students about things like perseverance and by taking your time to do things instead of rushing through life.
This was also a WOW book because when I was reading other fables they seemed a little gruesome and I like that this one has a good message and is appropriate for children to read. This is definitely a WOW book and can easily be used in the classroom! Nov 21, Leah D rated it liked it. The main characters in this book are described very flat. The tortoise is described to be very nice while the hare is described as a mean and rude person.
Not only that, but it is directly said instead of implying it in the story. Therefore, the hare is described as only a "bad guy" and the tortoise only described as a "good guy. There are lot of different versions of the tortoise and the hare stories that have been published. I am only familiar with this one and another one. The other one that I know is a book without words version by Jerry Pinkney.
It tells the same story except the author decided to do it without words. This would be ideal for a younger age group that may not be reading yet. It would allow them to "read" by themselves by just looking at the pictures in the book. I would use this book to tell the story to a group of children. It can be used to teach children about theme and morals of a story. Not only that, but the theme is more of an explicit theme than an implicit.
By having that kind of a theme it allows children to begin learning about themes in a way that is easy for them to recognize the theme. Explain how the tortoise ending up winning the race. Answer: The tortoise ran the race because he took his time and didn't rush himself. The hare was always rushing to get in front of the tortoise and then would take a break.
His breaks were what caused him to lose the race. He wasn't paying attention to where the tortoise was, so he missed the tortoise when he fell asleep.
Mar 10, Lynda Breithaupt-Muenzer added it Shelves: etecclass3. Stevens, Janet. The Tortoise and the Hare. Target audience: An adapted Aesop fable; one of my favorites because of the moral of the story. This is a never too old story about perseverance and working hard for what you want.
Children will enjoy the vibrant colors in the illustrations as well as the humanization of the animal characters. The friendly tortoise is teased relentlessly by the flashy, rude, hare, about how slowly he does everything. It annoys the hare so much that one day Stevens, Janet. It annoys the hare so much that one day he challenges the tortoise to a race.
The tortoise doesn't think he can beat the hare, but his friends think he can with a bit of help. He doesn't want to disappoint his friends so he accepts the challenge.
His friends help him train for about two and one half weeks before the race. Right from the start, the hare blazes past the tortoise, but becomes thirsty, so he decides to stop for a drink since he is so far ahead of the tortoise. The hare sees the tortoise pass him as he is sitting at the bear's house having a drink. The story continues with the hare catching up, passing the tortoise, taking a break, then repeating the process until They each learned a lesson that day.
Children not only take away that if you keep a steady pace you could still win a race, but they also learn that being boastful can backfire on you. Mar 19, McKenna Farley rated it it was amazing. Genre: Fable Awards: none Audience: years old A. Hare is described as very flashy and rude due to the fact that he could do everything very quickly. Tortoise is described as friendly and quiet, and also very slow at mostly everything he does. The Snail is witty, and hides in Fox's tail while he is sleeping.
At the finishing gate, Snail creeps out of Fox's tail and finishes the race, while Fox cockily asks where Snail is. The Fox is similar to the Hare in that he is doubtful of the Snail's abilities which leads to his downfall, and the Snail is witty and takes advantage of Fox's cockiness. Yes, I would use this for storytelling. It's an intriguing way to tell the rather simple lesson that hard work pays off, and not to underestimate others or look down upon them just because they are different than you.
It's illustrations and fast-paced plot would definitely help maintain the children's interest. Explain why Tortoise's friends encouraged him to do the race. They didn't want to be looked down upon and pushed around by Hare any longer. Preview this item Preview this item. The hare and the tortoise. Author: Aesop.

Throughout his rendition of the story, Wildsmith employs these illustration techniques to motivate the plot. Although the tale Wildsmith tells is quite short, he chooses to stretch the lines of text with a detailed and grand image to inspire the curiosity and unique interpretation of the reader.
On one page, Wildsmith places the haughty rabbit on a backdrop of fierce and striking red to illuminate this character as the bad-tempered antagonist. This contrasts the natural and calming brush that the tortoise is situated within. By placing these two characters in opposing settings within one page fold, Wildsmith implicitly illuminates the dichotomy of these contestants, which highlights the central plot of the fable. Garden City, NY: Doubleday, The illustration on display depicts a scene from a Korean folktale of the Tortoise swimming with the Hare on his shell to the Sea Kingdom.
