First the students should fill out fairy tale story planner worksheet to make sure they have all the elements of the story. Finally the students will make their own version writing and illustrating Cinderella. Stage 3: Learning Plan

Other Evidence: Venn-DiagramsStudents will get in small groups and compare two stories of Cinderella.

Learning Activities: Pre-assessment- Start the lesson off by asking what the students know about Cinderella (characters, plot, setting) and write them down on the board. Bring the students to the rug and introduce the story Cinderella by Walt Disney. The students will do a picture walk with the teacher and make predictions. Next, the students will go into literature circles and read Cinderella by Walt Disney. After the students have read, we will come back together as a group and write down the elements of the story (Main points, main characters, the setting, etc.). After that is all written down, the teacher will read Cinderella by Ashley Pelt. This is the Ireland version of Cinderella.

 Now as a class, have a discussion on the similarities and differences between Cinderella by Walt Disney and Cinderella by Ashley Pelt. The teacher should review what a Venn-Diagram is and begin filling one out comparing and contrasting the two stories of Cinderella. After filling out the Venn- Diagram, have the students go back to their desks and do a think-pair-share with their partner discussing the comparison section in the venn-diagram in further detail. Finally the students will start their story of creating their own version of Cinderella. Resources
