Mother Hubbard and her son Jack one day find that they have no money and their cupboard is empty. Jack is sent into town to find a job. Mrs. Tattle just so happened to be looking for a paperboy so off Jack went delivering the "Fairytale News." He had many stops to make including The Three Little Bears and Red Riding Hood's house. His most interesting stop soon became Mr. Giant's castle at the top of the enormous beanstalk that appeared in his garden after his encounter with "the fast-talking stranger." Jack and Mr. Giant became best friends sharing a cup of juice and discussing the "Fairytale News" each morning after he had completed his paper route. To find out what happened on the Jack's first day as a paperboy, read your very own "Fairytale News" newspaper located in the back of this book.
After reading this book and the "Fairytale News" newspaper to the class, I would split the students up into groups of 4 or 5. Each group will be instructed to use their imaginations to create their own tall tale newspaper. Each member will be required to draw and label a picture that goes along with the story they are to write. The group will then proceed to arrange and decorate their newspaper to match the theme they have chosen. Once they have finished, they will leave their newspaper at their table and will rotate clockwise as a group every 5 - 7 minutes to view the other newspapers created by their classmates until they return back to their newspaper. I will then collect them.
