Cinderella Elements Teacher Note: Please be sensitive to students who may be members of blended families. The stereotypes of "stepmothers" and "stepsisters" that are part of many Cinderella stories must be carefully addressed.
This unit explores Fair, Brown and Trembling…I have many more Cinderella units available! Please check them out. Before you explore any of the versions, including this one, it is imperative to discuss the basic aspects of Cinderella in general with your students. The best way to do so is by using elements of active participation.
For discussion: Cinderella stories are considered folk tales or fairy tales. Folk tales and fairy tales are legends or stories handed down from generation to generation – usually orally. These stories are considered folk tales until they are written down…once they are on paper…they are considered fairy tales. Folk tales and fairy tales have common themes that transcend many cultures and often contain life lessons, global truths and/or explain things that happen in nature. Most folk tales and fairy include the following elements:
• A beginning – or a “Once upon a time…”• Magic of some sort• Royalty or a social hierarchy• A wicked character• A kind and or thoughtful character who is usually treated badly• Goodness rewarded in the end
Cinderella Elements Continued Explore the above elements with students. It is helpful to put up a Cinderella from around the world bulletin board with sections for each element. After you finish with each story…put the Cinderella story name on the board and brainstorm the elements…listing them next to the story. If this is done in grid form…students will easily be able to compare stories. Having a large map and placing colorful pins on the location points of the stories as you read is a great visual for students to link the commonalities of what they are reading to the vastness of the world. After you discuss the main Cinderella elements, do the Sentence Sorting and From Sentence Sorting to Essay Writing activities from the instruction pages as guided lessons with your students. It will help them learn the templates, reinforce structure and organization of sentences and essays and reinforce the Cinderella elements.

Sentence Sorting to Essay Writing Enrichment-#13 From Sentence Sorting to Essay Writing GOAL: To gain a better understanding of what you read through reading and writing. To have an outline ready to go for an English/Language Arts writing assignment. Directions: Copy the template on the next page onto a transparency or use the computer generated sheet on a projector or document camera etc. Copy one blackline master per student. Do a sample on the board and demonstrate the entire activity to the class – discuss the order of the sentence strips and copy them. Check for understanding using think, speak and do strategies as you and your students write the essay together. Review the sentence sorting activity as a group. Work a modified scrip from the example on pages 9-13 to move from sentence sorting to essay writing. Extension Assignment: Have students choose a concept idea from Chapter 1. Have students us the story to write their own sentence strips. Re-pair up students with different partners and have them work self-created sentence strips. Hand out another template and help students move from sentence strips to essay writing on their own. For limited English proficient students and students who need extra help – you may want to do the assignment together – you on the board taking suggestions and them writing it down on their paper. Test and check as you help them to individualize their worksheet as you all move along together. Hint to Motivate: Copy the template onto paper, laminate and have students use dry erase markers to construct their essays. When the rough draft is complete, have students peer edit and then copy their essays onto notebook paper. This saves time…helps with the editing process and engages students. There is something about dry erase markers and shiny surfaces that students love.
