Three Billy Goat Gruff-Traditional or Folk Literature-Technology Movie


The Three Billy-Goat Gruff by P.Cc Asbjornesen is such a great story!  I actually read this story for the first time just a few weeks ago, but it is a known piece of folk literature.  This story is about three Billy goats who are trying to cross a bridge to get to the other side of the island to graze for better grass, but there is one problem.  The evil troll wont let them cross without paying a toll. The first goat says don't eat me my brother is bigger, so the troll lets him through, the next goat comes and says the same thing, so the troll lets him through also.  The last goat, which is the biggest goat, decides he can take the troll by himself and pushes him into the water.  The troll realizes that he needs to start being nicer to the Billy goats and in the end they are all friends.  Here you can watch a video that some classmates and I made to represent this story.  This would be a great activity for students to do because it would introduce them into the world of technology and it is a fun and creative way to do a book study.  Technology is such a big part of the school system today that it is important that we as future teachers have creative ways for students to use technology such as making a video that I have done here!
