Rachel, In reply to your follow up question. Here is a list of stories that are published in different versions. Divide the students into 2 or 3 groups. Ask each to read a version tell the story to the other groups and compare the versions. I have not been working for almost two years so I hope that I remember correctly Yettele's feathers by Joan Rothenberg (or Ruthenberg) Feathers by Heather Forest Feathers in the wind by Marian Chaikin All three stories are easy reading so the children will have time to read and compare. It is about the damage done by gossip. In the collection of stories Ten best Jewish children stories By Chan and Daniel Sperber there is a story titled The love of two brothers There are at least two more versions The brothers promise by Frances Haber and Brothers: a Hebrew legend by Florence Freeman A legends about brothers caring for each other. When I read it to children I always finish with the song heenay ma tov umah naeem. Something from nothing by Phoebe Gilman Joseph had a little overcoat by Simms Taback About grandpa making something new each time when the coat gets too small. There are many versions of the story about the man that complains that the Rabbi his house is too crowded. It appears in many collections of short stories under the title It could be worst. If you put a question on Ha-Safran you will get more replies that you can imagine for the titles of a book or a collection of stories. Or email to Linda Silver silve...@roadrunner.com or Heidi Estrin he...@cbiboca.org . They don't even need to look it up to reply. I hope that this helps.
