Part 2. Read Roald Dahl's "Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf". pp 283-284. This is a parody of the original story.  Underline words and phrases that create a comedic effect. Think about how this version differs from the original, what makes it funny?

Transform the story into a monologue  that is told from just ONE character's perspective.

You can be the WOLF, GRANDMA or RED RIDING HOOD. 

This means if you choose to be the wolf, you will be him and he will tell the story.

If you are grandma, you will be her, and tell the story. If you are the wolf, you will be him and tell the story.
