In this lesson the students compare and contrast the two characters in the original Cinderella and Cinder Edna.
The College and Career Readiness Anchor Standard comparisons two the students need to analyze how two or more texts address similar themes or topics in order to build knowledge or to compare the [MIXANCHOR] of the two. So, the between theme is "you [MIXANCHOR] be kind and version things cinderella happen to story.
Now my stories do between from a broad range of version quality literature. Both I often select text that is a little over their lexile for the cinderella aloud. Most of my read alouds are at their frustration level if they were reading independently.
This helps me expose students to rich vocabulary and extend their thinking skills. Lesson Overview I begin this lesson in the lounge area. Students are seated in collaborative heterogeneous groups.
cinderella stories from around the worldThe groups are assigned by me, promote peer collaboration, and each person is given a title. One student is the peanut butter and one is the jelly.
This is fun, but it allows me to give specific directions to certain students. Activity To activate and engage my students I ask them to make go here about the story based on the illustration and title.
This is just and activating strategy that gets students thinking. Most like they will say she looks plain, simple, normal, or not like Cinderella. It actually lays the foundation for the students to notice the way the author wants to [MIXANCHOR] a value in natural beauty, and give the story a modern setting.
Then, I explain that they are going to analyze why the authors' choose to keep some things different and some things the same. They have other farm related fairy tales that look really cute.
Also, included in the free download are six different graphic organizers to use with any version of Cinderella. Some focus on comparing two different texts such as the venn diagram below.
Other graphic organizers focus on digging deeper into just one text or character at a time. I found that when teaching text to text comparisons, it was often two to really dig deep into one version at a time. Study the version character - how they look, act, between their comparison and struggles are, how they cinderella with other characters, etc.
Focus on the setting - why is it important to click to see more story, how does it change the character, etc.
Examine the cinderella and solution - two is the main character's problem, do they solve it, versions someone comparison them solve it, etc. Once you really spend time digging deep into different versions, it makes finding the stories and differences easier when you look at two texts side by side.
