Character+Changes



As a class we read the 2010 Bluebonnet Nominee, __The Uglified Ducky.__ This is a fractured fairy tale based on __The Ugly Duckling__ and is about a moose who finds himself adopted by a duck mother. Unfortunately, he is mistaken for one horrible example of a duck! After failing at waddling, quacking, and swimming, Mother Duck takes him to the doctor to be fixed. Uglified Ducky has many emotional highs and lows as he hopes, then fails at duckhood, but then comes across other beasties that are just like him. The story is told in a crazy hillbilly tone!

As an activity, we plotted the emotions Uglified Ducky felt (some kids preferred another character from an AR book of their choice) from event to event on a Living Graph.
