Correction to Pig Hit

[uv middle school library <snbcs@NORWICH.NET>]

In my recent HIT about pig activities, I messed up one of my favorite
suggestions, so let me try again:

********************************
In my recent classroom life, we had a reading theme in third grade that
focused on fractured fairy tales, using the 3 little pig variants. One of
the really fun activities we added  was making up pig jokes.

Generally, here's the method to use with the class. . ..

Think up a bunch of pig type words:     pig, oink, ham, bacon, hog, etc.

What parts of a pig word will grow into another word by taking off  the
first letter, or shortening the word,changing /sounds like a pig word?
     h   am   ambulance
     pig   picasso   pigcasso
     oink   orchestra  oinkestra

Then, write a joke to  have that word as the answer.
     How do pigs get to the hospital quickly ?   hambulance
     What hog was known for his great art work? Pigcasso
.    How is  classical pig music made?    By an oinkestra!


Kids really get into it, and LOVE making their own joke book (pig shaped,
of course!)
