Organizational Text Patterns (Red Riding Hood)

Select the correct organizational text pattern:

Because Little Red Riding Hood did not listen carefully to her mother’s instructions, she brought calamity upon herself and her grandmother. She ignored her mother’s warning not to talk to strangers, and thereby gave the wolf an opportunity to deceive her. She wandered off the path, against her mother’s instructions, even though her good intention was to pick flowers for her grandmother. This gave the wolf a few extra minutes to reach grandmother’s house before Little Red Riding Hood.

At 8:23, she talked to the Big Bad Wolf. At 8:35, she told the stranger details of her life that he did not need to know. Last, at about 9:10, she approached her grandmother’s cottage and found her grandmother looking strange and behaving oddly

Little Red Riding Hood’s mother asked her to take some food to her sick grandmother. Before Little Red Riding Hood left, her mother told her several things. She admonished her to stay on the path through the wood. She also warned her not to talk to strangers, to wear insect repellent, and to keep her hood over her head to protect her from the harmful UV rays of the sun.

Little Red Riding Hood could do several things in the future to prevent a re-occurrence of the hairy situation in which she found herself at her grandmother’s house. For one thing, she should follow her mother’s instructions meticulously. She also needs to learn to pay attention to and trust her powers of observation. If she had compared her memory of Grandmother to what she saw in front of her, she would not have been deceived by the Big Bad Wolf. Using better judgment and paying attention to details will help prevent Little Red Riding Hood from experiencing future trauma.

What is a fairy tale? Fairy tales are short stories, historically passed down orally (by word of mouth), and most often told to children. Long ago, fairy tales were “cautionary tales.” That is, they were tales that warned children of the consequences of disobedience. Fairy tales frequently contain magical events and often the personification of animals. Fairy tales remind children that when they disobey, bad things happen.

Select the correct organizational text pattern:

While both Grandmother and the Big Bad Wolf could speak, the grandmother’s eyes were not as big as the Big Bad Wolf’s eyes. Though the Big Bad Wolf was dressed like Grandmother would have been dressed, his ears were bigger (and hairier, I hope), and his teeth were much bigger and sharper. Little Red Riding Hood should have noticed these differences and run away as quickly as she could.

Little Red Riding Hood’s mother made some muffins to send to her grandmother. First, she creamed the butter and sugar together. Then she added flour, baking soda and salt, along with some milk. Next, she added some applesauce. After she baked them for 20 minutes, she had warm delicious muffins to put in Little Red Riding Hood’s basket.

In many fairy tales, the main character (the protagonist) must go in the forest. It seems trees are an endless source of inspiration in folklore. There are many speculations why the forest is so important but we can also stick to the obvious: Most people in medieval or pre-medieval times lived near forests. People's existence have been closely related to the woods for practically forever, but forests also represent unknown, although very serious, danger.
