Global Cinderella

First grade students in Ms. Sprader's class self-organized in groups based on which version of a Cinderella-like story they would like to read.  Students were amazed to hear that there are hundreds of versions of this famous tale all around the world. 

In order to map out similarities and differences between Disney's Cinderella and the book the group read, groups completed a comparing and contrasting chart.  Once their chart was complete, students collaboratively illustrated the most important part of their story and shared their insights with other groups.
