Old Man of the Woods

• What is the ogre doing? Why?
• Why is there a glowing light over the flower? Where is it coming from? 
• What do you think is in the pouches on the ogre’s bag strap?
• Why were the children in the woods?
• Does he know that they are watching him?
• Do the children want him to know that they’re there?
• Does this remind you of any other stories you know? Why? What’s similar and what’s different?
• Write this story in the style of a fairytale. Who will be your main character/protagonist(s)? 
• Are ogres normally good or bad characters? Find as many examples as possible before you draw any conclusions.
