Class Work

1. We will hear about yellow and silver!

These items were left over from Tuesday. Let's have a bit of fun with the stories.

2. Stories have been used around the world to teach lessons about life. Join one of three groups and participate in a Readers' Theatre activity.
1. Assign parts - you may have more than one.
2. Read through so that you know the story.
3. Read through again now that you know a bit about the characters.
4. Read for the class. VOCAL enthusiasm is a MUST! Appropriate facial expressions are also required.

Group work: 34pts.
Vocal inflection and varied volume: 33pts.
Facial Expression: 33 pts

*****************************************************

Homework - The due date has been extended.
Read "Cinderella" - p. 3 and "Ashenputtel" - p. 68

Explain in paragraph form what is similar between the two stories? What are the differences? Which version do you think would be most liked by girls in 21st Century America? Explain. Use specific lines from the stories in your answers.

*****************************

On Tuesday, we will be taking a close look at Cinderella. Over the weekend, view a "Cinderella" movie. The original Disney movie is fine as are more current versions.
Consider:
Enchanted
Ever After
Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella
Etc.

Be ready to discuss the movie in class.
