This unit plan focuses on having students analyze different versions of the Cinderella story from around the world to understand how culture impacts fairy tales. Over six weeks, students will read and compare versions of Cinderella, learn about literary genres and character development, and consider how point of view shapes stories. Assessments include projects, blogs, presentations and journals to evaluate student understanding. Students work collaboratively and use technology like websites and graphic organizers to explore perspectives on whether fairy tales always end happily. The goal is for students to think critically about accepting different viewpoints.
