“What is THAT? He cannot be one of us!”
“I have never seen such an ugly duckling!” said another.

I love the message of this book because as someone who feels like judgment is one of the main issues in the world, this classic story helps allow people to understand what to look for in people.

This book has a good message of not judging a person by the way they look and accepting a person for who they are. I like this book because of the message and I believe it is a very important one because people are always judging others.

This story would be great to use to teach students about the importance of being unique and also including each other in the classroom. Everyone is different and that is something that should be celebrated.

The drake has been a swan all along, though none had known it. And now all the beautiful swans were gathering about to welcome him.

The Ugly Duckling is a book about a duckling that was born different than its other siblings. The Ugly Duckling is a fairytale that teaches the lesson that it is okay to be different and important to be unique. The story is very flat with its characters and its adventures.

Quote:
“I shall fly near these royal birds, and they will peck me to bits because I, who am so very ugly, dare to go near them. But I don't care. Better be killed by them than to be nipped by the ducks, pecked by the hens, kicked about by the hen-yard girl, or suffer such misery in winter.“

Review:
This is a folktale because of the flat characters and it came from the imagination of someone when they were telling the tale.

quote

The Ugly Duckling | Hans Christian Andersen

“Reflected in the still pool he saw many graceful hopes, with long necks and golden bills. Without thinking, he looked for his dull feathers and awkward, skinny neck. But no such thing was there. Instead, he beheld beneath him a beautiful sawn!”

This would be a great read for explaining to children that everyone has differences and we all shine in our own way.

The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Andersen was published in 1999 and awarded a Caldecott metal in 2000. This picture book is a longer read with beautiful pictures. The book is about a duckling that is born and looks different compared to all the other ducklings. Because of this he is made fun of by his community and it makes him extremely sad. He gets left behind through the winter and realizes when he looks down he is the most beautiful one.

“And when he heard that, the swan knew that it was worth having undergone all the suffering and loneliness that he had.“ This quote shows how he persevered through life and how he know feels love for himself.

The Ugly Duckling by Jerry Pinkney. Picture Book. 1999. ALA Booklist Editor's Choice, American Bookseller Pick of lists, Publisher's Weekly Best Book of the Year, and A Smithsonian Notable Book. This is a classic tale that has great themes for any age. Some themes are not judging a book by it's cover, inner beauty etc. The illustrations in the book are very detailed and reflect the emotions of the duckling thoroughly.

The ugly duckling is about a duck who finds out that he is a swan. This story shows the struggle that it goes through and how it comes to learn the truth. Jerry Pinkney add a new element to the story through his beautiful illustrations. This classic story is great to include in the classroom when talking about the differences between people.

The ugly duckling is a traditional story adapted and illustrated by Jerry Pinkney. His illustrations that look almost painted are absolutely stunning and do an amazing job of telling the story. The story originally created by Hans Christian Andersen is re-told in this book in a way that honors the story but adds a new element.

A mother duck lays her eggs and notices that one of her eggs looks different than the others, but she treats it just the same. All of the other ducklings hatch, and the largest egg hatches last. When the duck hatches, it comes out looking different than the others. As they go towards the water, other ducks make comments about the different duckling.

Jerry Pinkney does it again, although this time he adds in words to tell the story, the realistic pictures draw the audience into the story. I loved this version of the classic story as even with the realism the reader can feel the emotions of the characters.

This TL story is a classic tale that we all should read! It is about a swan that is born into a family of ducks. Everyone called this swan an ugly duckling... until he grew up. This story is wonderful for an RA! #ucflae3414su20

bsiqueira https://teachables.scholastic.com/teachables/books/the-ugly-duckling-lesson-plan... This resource is an amazing idea in which includes activities where students can fill in the blank and creat their own story about the ugly duckling! 4y
bsiqueira The UDL strategy that can be implemented is 3.1 “activate or supply background knowledge” which the students will be doing in order to create their story. Followed by ESOL strategy 10 “Teach think, pair and share strategies in groups” which can be used for when the students share the stories they created! 4y

The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Anderson and adapted and illustrated by Jerry Pinkney is a Caldecott award-winning book. The genre is TL as this story is one that has been told time and time again. This book is about the Ugly Duckling who is different from the rest of the ducks. He is judged because he looks different from the others. This story has a great message which is that you shouldn‘t judge someone because they look...

Nkaufmann or act differently than you. Our differences should be embraced; our world would be boring if we were all the same.

This book should be RA to students because it‘s a classic story with an important message that all should know. The UDL principle 9.3 regarding developing self-assessment and reflection and the EL principle 15 regarding reinforcing the key ideas you present again and again can be met by this book.
4y
Nkaufmann Teachers should have the students reflect on the book and its message after they finish reading it.

The Ugly Duckling is a classic TL book that everyone has most likely heard of. It teaches students how your words and actions can effect others. This TL won a Caldecott Medal in 2000. This book would be great for RA because you can get the lesson across to your students. I have linked an activity that teaches about character & conflict in the book.
http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/lesson_images/lesson802/UsingPictu...

juliap99 The EL strategy I chose is #26 to maintain a library of supplementary book written in simple English with illustrations. This book has great illustrations that help aid the story along. The UDL I chose is 9.3 develop self assessment and reflection because after you read this book you can ask your students if they ever felt left out or made any one feel that way and how to take steps to prevent it ! #ucflae3414sp20 4y
amandar I really agree with the UDL principles and ESOL strategies you applied! It‘s great to allow ELs the same experience with traditional literature. 4y
Zelymarie.R I love the ugly duckling, we can teach so many things with this story to our elementary students. I love the plot conflict resource that you provide. I didn't know that this TL book won a Caldecott Medal! Great Job! 4y
ShardaeP The UDL you chose is so important. Students can relate to the book and reflect on their own decisions. 4y
DrSpalding This is a classic piece of traditional literature that all students should hear! This is an award winning version. Good choice. Nice elaboration on the English learner and universal design principles you selected. 4y

The Ugly Duckling written by Hans Christian Andersen is a TL books that tells a story we have all heard before. When ducklings begin to hatch, one is born looking a little different from the others. His larger, different and uglier features make living life hard for this duckling. Will the duckling learn to love himself or listen to all the mean judgments castes upon him.

ValeriaCastaneda23 This story teaches about acceptance, inclusion and diversity. I would teach my students these lessons through a S or RA and show them the animated version I have linked below! UDL 9.3 Develop self-assessment and reflection. EL 15. Reinforce the key ideas you present again and again. https://youtu.be/TyrmcD8Yml0 #UCFLAE3414SP20 4y
DrSpalding This is traditional literature at its best. This is a message that all students should hear and this book should be shared over and over again… English learner 15 works nicely. 4y

I had to recommend this TL book originally written by Hans Christian Anderson, now adapted and illustrated by Jerry Pinkney. We all know the classic story the ugly duckling goes through; feeling ostracized and different then his siblings because of his appearance.

This is a great book to start with for beginning readers, its a cute and easy book to use as a RA. This specific book won the Caldecott honor in 2000.
#UCFLAE3414SP20

Brennap This lesson plan is perfect to use for K-2 to discuss the story and characters and even create a little craft. It has so many different resources to utilize to pair with the story. The resource supports the UDL Principle (4.2) “Optimize access to tools and assistive technologies” , & ESOL Strategy 29. Offer a variety of reference materials at the students‘ instructional level” 4y
Agavitt1 Aw I love this story! I think it‘s also a great to incorporate to teach younger students about acceptance and being kind. I think the craft you included would be so fun to do with students and they would really enjoy it. 4y
DrSpalding All elementary students should hear this story numerous times. Helpful resource and excellent choice in this Caldecott winner. 4y

“The Ugly Ducking“ by Jerry Pinkney, 1999. Traditional Literature. I said this book was so-so only because it sort of gives off the idea that looks are everything, which is definitely not true and not something I'd want my kids to think. Other than that, I thought the illustrations were beautiful and colorful and extend the story.

The Ugly Duckling is a tradition literature story that has a very sweet moral. The story is about a duckling that just does not fit in. The ugly duckling does not look like the others and is made fun of. This is because the duckling is no duckling at all, but a beautiful swan.

The TL, The Ugly Duckling was adapted by Ben Cruise from the original story written by Hans Christain Anderson. It is illustrated by Lisa McCue. The Ugly Duckling is the perfect book for a RA. A swan is born into a duck family and is considered ugly by those around him as he grows up. When he turns into an adult, he has changed so much and had become something so beautiful. #UCFLAE3414F19

JRone ESOL strategy #10 Teach think, pair and share strategies in cooperative groups would be useful for during the read aloud and when asking questions, students can partner up so you have 100% engagement. UDL strategy 3.1 Activate or supply background knowledge would apply to this lesson because students can add information about their background knowledge when they see or have dealt with being picked on. 4y
JRone https://teachables.scholastic.com/teachables/books/the-ugly-duckling-lesson-plan... is a lesson plan that includes a print out where students can fill in the blanks and create their own stories about their own unique “ugly“ animals. 4y

The TL PB, The Ugly Duckling, written by Hans Christian Anderson and illustrated by Jerry Pinkney won the Caldecott Medal and is perfect for S in your PreK-5th grade classrooms. This fable takes you through the life of a sad, little duckling. He lives a very sad life until the day that he turns into this beautiful, big swan! The animals were not nice to him while he was a duckling, but everything changes once he is a beautiful swan!#UCFLAE3414F19

Camrynm The EL strategy I would use would be 20: List the most important words and phrases you use or plan to use in a presentation on a transparency or on the chalkboard. For your PreK-K classrooms, students will benefit from the teacher pointing out the important words and their definitions. The UDL principle I would use would be 2.1: Offer alternatives for auditory information. Students could listen to the tail through an audio CD. (edited) 4y
DrSpalding This is traditional literature at its best. The story is so important for students to hear. I like the idea of an audio recording as this could benefit many students. 4y

The Ugly Duckling and Other Fairy Tales by Hans Christian Andersen is a great book to introduce traditional literature. It has 8 traditional stories including The Ugly Duckling, The Emperor‘s New Clothes, and The Princess and the Pea. This book would be great to use as a read aloud. A great sequencing lesson plan for The Ugly Duckling can be found here https://www.education.com/lesson-plan/picture-this-the-ugly-duckling/.

BRaulerson The UDL Guideline I would use is clarify syntax and structure. A lot of these stories can even be used as story telling and focused on sequencing. The ESOL strategy I would use is using preview/review activities. I found some great resourcing where we can review the sequence of the story to help with comprehension. #UCFLAE3414F19 4y

This TL Caldecott Honor picture book by Hans Christian Andersen; adapted and illustrated by Jerry Pinkney retells about the original tale of the Ugly Duckling that would be great for RA. The little duckling gets picked on by the others but surviving obstacles did not defeat him in discovering that he is beautiful and learns to love and express his differences of becoming a swan. #ucflae3414f19

This teacher guide has many activities for grades K-8 that involve sequencing to exploring what an adaption is for students to understand.

The UDL principle 6.3 facilitate managing information and resources along with EL #15 reinforce the key ideas you present again and again work well with this.
