=**Discussion Questions:** = 1. How to you think Papa feels when little red chicken continually interrupts the story and adds in her own ending? 2. How would you end Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood, and Chicken Little to have better endings?  3. What would you do if someone kept interrupting you when you were trying to read or tell a story?

=**Classroom Activity:** = 1. Split the students into groups of two and have them create a role play situation where one student continues to interrupt the other. Give the students ample time to create their role play and practice how they want to present it in front of their classmates. The students will also come up with polite ways to ask the interrupter to stop interrupting.

2. Students will write a short bedtime story for their parents just like little red chicken did for Papa.
