Folklore and Fairy Tales
Introduction:
Students will explore the elements
of the Fairy Tale Cinderella and apply the elements to their own original version.
Task:
Your task is to read and compare
several versions of the classic fairy tale Cinderella. You will then have the
opportunity to write a Cinderella for the new millennium.
Process:
Students will read a printed version of
Cinderella. They will then read and chart the comparisons of three other versions on
the internet. The final product will be a chart and a written fairy tale.

Evaluation:
We will evaluate them in a chart
with the following components: character name, character traits, problem/predicament,
supernatural or unnatural powers, and moral/lesson.
In the written story we will be
looking for the following points: focus, characterization, modern day elements, and
spelling/grammar.
Conclusion:
Students can share their stories with the class and
have them published on the web.
