3 LITTLE PIGS Q'S

1. How many different ways did the Guardian cover the story of the three little pigs?
-They gave the big picture "Pigs boiled the wolf" accusing first, like what they heard first hand, then kind of their side of the story, what the people thought, then the wolf's side.

2. Is the story the same as you remember it as a child?
-No, it's accusing the pigs this time saying it was their fault.

3. Who did they interview?
The people, the wolf.

4. What aspects of the story did they cover?
The pigs were at fault in this story, they go to court, the wolf has asthma, there's people in it, it's more like a cop thing.

5. Were there any aspects of the three little pigs story that were not covered?
Not really,most of it was covered but with a twist.

6. Did the Guardian ever offer their opinion of what happened, who was guilty, who was not guilty?
No, they just stated that the pigs were guilty, probably the first thing they heard, was the first thing they printed out.

7. Can we do this for events on our campus on a daily basis?
Uhm yeah I think so, all depends on us.

8. How can you help make this a reality?
 not sure, I'm a little confused by this.
