Peter Rabbit is a delightful tale about a little rabbit who often hops down the wrong path. Use Peter Rabbit to discuss the unintended consequences of choices. Start the discussion by asking students about the many decisions they have to make in a day. What should you eat for breakfast? What should you wear? Should you brush your teeth? Should you jump in the mud puddle? They discuss both good and bad consequences of some of their decisions. You can use the Project Gutenberg Tale of Peter Rabbit original or the StorylineOnline.net version below, read by Rose Byrne (who stars in the new movie; the trailer is below).
After you read the story, use the Once about a Decision slideshow to illuminate more economic concepts.
You can also check out the trailer below, the official movie Peter Rabbit Website for the movie and the StorylineOnline.net Teacher Guide for more Peter Rabbit activities.
