Bremen Lesson Musician Plan Town
SUNDAY SNARK IN THE PARK!
JP Apart from a nice array of sweaterpuppies and Sam’s presto-chango wardrobe trick, all I got out of today’s strip was that Biff Dickens is a chauvinist and Sam is too dedicated to law. If I was him and I just flew in from across country and my office didn’t know exactly what time I might have come home, I’d be upstairs making Abbey petition God in a positive light (”Oh God! YES! oh GOD YES!”) and go to work some other time. Fables are opportunistic, yes we are.
RMMD Rex, don’t try to pretend you’ve got anything figured out, about the car and the plans of crooks. All you really want to do is inflict pain on the wounded with a haemostatic Kelly clamp. And I applaud you for that.
A3G Tommie’s attempt to do a table dance will end badly when even Gary tosses a tablecloth over her.
MW Mary suddenly realizes that she may have to eat her own casseroles if she doesn’t leave the dog behind! Or *gasp* she may have to pay for her own dinner! Oh, this will never do!
MT Rutting season comes to Mark Trail. Naturally, it would ONLY be on a Sunday. Mark Trail doesn’t rut, and we just plain don’t want to think about Johnny Malotte’s natural urges.
“Augh hauh hauh, waz eet guud far yoo, behbeh? Nauw get some sleeep, mah leddle boosh behbeh, Johnnah gon’ go knawc fo’heads weeth fren’s agin.”
BB Holy CRAP.
DtM Oh come off it. Ruff has always been a dirty, disgusting, moss-laden mutt with eyes straight off Flyspeak island. If Dennis really wanted to menace, he’d teach the dog to Sicc Margaret. Hmphf. Missed opportunity, kid.
FC The Psycho music woke PJ up just in time to avoid his mother’s wrath, even though she had no knife. THIS time.
FW She calls you that to your face. She also calls you Creepy but who knows what she calls you around her friends, not that you leave her alone long enough to MAKE friends. Geez, Les, you’re getting more and more disgustingly obsessive with that child as time goes by. Is there ever going to be a time when you DON’T mention her?
C’haft Ed goes off to float a log. Nothing to see here, let’s move along.
Blondie A tuxedo with brown shoes. Geez, Blondie, you shop all the time; why don’t you buy your own husband a decent pair of black shoes? Selfish bitch.
H&L Augh! that gigantic baby head in the last panel is a stunner! And this is only the second of December. Holy crap, the funnies are starting to follow the way of the department stores, starting Christmas way too soon.
S-M I know Captain America; and Peter Parker, you’re not him. Unless of course you mean DEAD. I’ll take that.
Zits Thank you Large Greenshirted Guy with the Truly Heinous Mushroom Haircut, for saying what needed to be said. Too bad spoiled little shit Jeremy didn’t care.
FBoFW oh my LORD. They were ALWAYS disgusting. *Chomp, drool!* I’m eating in front of you, gee, you sure are strong and admirable, Elly! *Spittle, talking with mouth full as usual!*
And that last panel. Remember what I said about H&L’s ugly baby in the last panel? I’m sorry, Trixie. I apologize. You look like a cherub compared to that Red-Faced Glutton in Milborough, the cross between the large wet eyes of Sad Kitty and the portly lack of control of this dreadful apparition.
For my son's birthday this year I wanted to have a theme. My hope was to find something fun and interesting yet meaningful. Right now he loves animals and music so when I came across a file folder in a store with the Bremen Town Musicians pictured on the front inspiration hit!
We have a version of the famous old story in English and a German DVD animation. While looking around for party ideas I found some really cool things!
One suggestion for a classroom setting is to make masks of the various characters and then have the kids act out the story. There is a page with various lesson plan ideas based on the story.
The best "find" for me is a mini threater set 英語日本語紙芝居 ミニシアター ブレーメンの音楽隊 on Amazon.co.jp. It also comes in a larger, table top size. Each set includes kamishibai 紙芝居 (story board posters), a CD with the story told in English/Japanese and English only, 2 sets of question cards in English at different levels to test comprehension, a set of picture cards and a set of sight word cards.
For $10 - $15 dollars these mini theater sets are a real deal! What started out as a birthday party theme idea will easily be turned into an ongoing learning resource.
As you can see a 2 year old can enjoy the story as much as the adults did!
