“Beatrix Potter’s Naughty Animal Tales” are four classroom activities that introduce students to the historical context for Beatrix Potter’s famous stories. Students read about the Victorian Era and Beatrix Potter’s childhood. They then create their own version of a Beatrix Potter tale. There is a very useful story-starting graphic organizer to help them write their stories. Teachers can use these activities to teach strategies for reading informational texts, as well as writing stories.
