I have been learning to identify common themes in Fairy and fractured tales.  We read two narrtives called Red riding hood and Into the Forest.   A common theme I found from this story is that they both had to take something to their grandma.  I found this easy because I just had to find the differences and similarities.  My next step is to try and find more features in the books.
