The classic story of the Ugly Duckling is a story with a strong message with gorgeous pictures. Although it can be a bit depressing and might hit your students soft spot, this book is a great source to open your students minds to being open and accepting of each other, and staying strong through struggles that many kids face. #ucflae3414f19

Shannyblake https://study.com/academy/lesson/the-ugly-duckling-lesson-plan.html This lesson is a great lesson for students in K or 1st grade because it‘s components for students to identify the moral of the story, analyze the main characters of the story and summarize the story. This lesson plan is helpful because it shares the standards that it matches with.

DrSpalding The story should be shared with all students! Traditional literature has a place in your classroom because there are so many great lessons as you noted that can be learned. 4y

The Ugly Duckling, adapted and illustrated by Jerry Pickney, is a (TL) book that has been passed down and adapted into a Caldecott Honor Award winning book. The book is still a heart warming story about a little duckling who is trying to spread their wings and fly. This is a book about perseverance, survival, and being yourself no matter what.

WoodsKatie This book would be great as a RA in a K-3 grade classroom. The book also satisfies UDL guidelines 3.2 and 9.3 as well as ESOL strategies 3 and 17. This lesson from Scholastic is a great way to implement The Ugly Duckling into a young elementary school class. https://teachables.scholastic.com/teachables/books/the-ugly-duckling-lesson-plan... #LAE3414sp19 5y

DrSpalding Scholastic is a high-quality resource and every child should hear this particular book. 5y

Traditional literature and was written in 2008. This book is a great book that teaches children one nobody is ugly and after time real beauty will prevail. The ugly duckling was born in a place where nobody liked so he had to left place to place. After time went by the ugly duckling gre bigger and bigger until he became a beautiful swan. The illustrations of this are full of color and really paint the picture of the story.

“Look how easily he paddles, And how straight he holds himself in the water! No doubt about it he‘s my own child. And he‘s quite handsome when you really look at him.”

The quote that i didn‘t like from the book was “Aren‘t they just the prettiest ducklings you‘ve ever seen? They all look like their father, that rascal, who never comes to visit me” I felt uncomfortable reading this, knowing this quote is in a children‘s book. I think that bringing in complex family social structures could do more harm then good, and upset a child who relates to the duckling‘s loss of a father figure.

When reading this book, I liked it personally but also couldn‘t see myself reading this book with kids from k-3. The language is on the more advanced level, and some comments in the book feel inappropriate for a children‘s book. I think the illustrations are lovely, and I like how big the pages and drawings are, but I probably wouldn‘t choose this book for my classroom.
