Children’s Literature Response Worksheet

1. Please write a brief summary of the literature book that you read in your 
group.

SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN


Everything starts when her father the king is murdered by his new wife, Queen Ravenna, Snow White is imprisoned, until the day she comes of age, when the evil queen will devour her heart in order to keep her immortality. Snow escapes, only to be hunted down by The Huntsman who's been forced into the Queen's service. Luckily for Snow, he has a change of heart, and, along with a group of eight dwarfs and her childhood crush, William, they set off to destroy the queen and bring peace to the kingdom.

2. Name some of the hardships that the characters in your story faced.
I am going to describe when Snow White escapes through the sewage pipe she wades through of her own accord and leaps off the rocky cliff at the edge of the pipe, plunging into the sea below where she clambers out and finds the horse by a large flat rock. she is whisked away against her will and it seems to take ages until she shoots out, tumbling into the sea where she is tangled in seaweed and struggles to resurface. When she does she navigates a maze of rocks until she finds the horse.
When Snow White rides through the destroyed village she is faced with the entire village, gaunt and pale. She's surrounded and, panicking, urges the horse to canter on, closely pursued by Queen Ravenna's men. She rides through, never stopping, and sees some children, like skeletal figures, huddled by an old school building. Ravenna's men are still in close pursuit.
Snow White is chased into a thicket of trees and arrives in a clearing, the battlesite at the start of the book. The horse is nervous and rears and swings its head so that Snow White has difficulty holding on, then races into a pit of mud, hurling Snow White off and drowning. She tries to help, but the horse sinks and she runs on into the Dark Forest alone. She is chased but the horse merely races through until the ground gives way. He rears, throwing Snow White off. When she turns he has run away into the mist. Ravenna's men and her brother Finn rush in. Snow White flees into the forest.


3. Tell how the main character is both similar and different than you.

STORY TELLING STRUCTURE











EDUCATING THE WHOLE PERSON

We know that literature has linguistic benefits, But we cannot forget the wider educational function of literature. 

It can help to stimulate the imagination of our students, to develop their
critical abilities and to increase their emotional awareness. If we our students 
respond to the texts we give them, they will become increasingly confident
expressing their own ideas and emotions in English

For me literature encourages students to reflect on their own personal experiences, feelings 
and opinions. At the same time of learning English, they become more active, both 
intellectually and emotionally
