Class Work

1. When you sign in today, please note your "color" for the color presentations.
2. We have one more "Three Little Pigs" presentation. . . on with the huffing and puffing and blowing down of houses!
3. Have you viewed a Cinderella movie? If not, please do so by Thursday.
The original Disney movie is fine as are more current versions.
Consider:

• Enchanted
• Ever After
• Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella
• Disney's remake of Cinderella 2015

Be ready to discuss the movie you chose.

Just to get you in the mood for viewing, let's take a look at these:
Who is Cinderella? How faithful was Disney to the original stories you read from the book?
2. What are some common elements?
3. What is different?
4. What are the qualities of the Prince in the story?

Cinderella today...If Cinderella came to our day and time, what would she need to change? What should remain the same?

What other "magic" does a princess need? How about a little help with the work?

And then... you need an evil "queen", "step-mother", "dragon"...

You may use the rest of the class time to work on your color presentation.

So, what is significant about "red?" What if Red had been wearing blue, or yellow, or green, or purple, or black?

You will "adopt a color" to research and to present. (Partners are OK)
Homework #2: Please begin your research this weekend.

You need to:

• Introduce your color - have fun with this! Entertain us!
• Compare it to other colors - is it superior or inferior to other colors?
• Tell the history of your color (Check out a dictionary site.)
• Tell of your color in stories, art works, and nature.
• Tell who or what "wears" your color.
• Explain why your color is or is not important.
• Tell how the story of Little Red Riding Hood would have been different if she had been wearing your color. ("No change" is not an acceptable response!)

Keep track of your sources and include them in your last slide. (Seven slides are required plus the Works Cited page. ) We will present on Thursday, 9/ 24/14. You have at least 2 1/2 minutes but no more than 5.) (100 points)

PowerPoint Tips
1. Use a light background with a DARK font or use a dark background with a LIGHT font.
2. Use bullets - not "deep text".

• No more than six bullets per slide
• No more than six words per bullets.
• You are giving the presentation, not the machine

3. Add visuals - but not too many - just enough to keep it interesting.
4. Make the font size big enough to see - at least 16.
5. Use a footless font such as Ariel, Helvetica, or Veranda.
6. Make the text bold; it shows up better.
7. Once you have at least three slides, get someone to take a look at your work and check
 for 1-6.
8. Make revisions as necessary before you post in CANVAS.
