October 1, 2015 - Thursday

Class Work

1. You will be given a slip containing part of one of the articles we read. The passages are numbered.

• Read the lines.
• Be ready to discuss/agree/or disagree with the statement.
• You will also be given a notes sheet. Take notes as you walk around the room and discuss the statements with your classmates.
• Ready - BEGIN walking/talking/note taking.
• A full class discussion will follow.

2. Cinderella is a story that occurs around the world.

Let's look at "Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters" as an example.
Trailer: https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-006&ei=utf-8&fr=ytff1-yff25&p=mufaro%27s%20beautiful%20daughters&type=
Music please: https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-006&ei=utf-8&fr=ytff1-yff25&p=mufaro%27s%20beautiful%20daughters&type=

Now settle back and listen . . .

• Join a group of no more than 5.
  2. Select a Cinderella story and culture.3. Explore the possibilities!
  http://nancykeane.com/rl/322.htm - Write your choice and group names on the board. No duplicates!
• Another source: http://therealcinderella.wikispaces.com/The+Mexican+Cinderella (Check the other options on the side.)
• Of course, a simple search for a specific country should bring up options! Don't be afraid to look!
  5. Prepare to share the story with the class.
  6. Use PowerPoint. Tell the story as the slides progress. Add facial expression and vocal inflection as the pages "turn!" Make sure that the pictures you select reflect the culture and location of the story. You wouldn't put palm trees in a story about Cinderella in the frozen north!
•  Please use PowerPoint for this or be sure you add pictures to Prezi or other presentation software. This is a story book!
   7. All must participate.
   
  Let the fun begin!

 

Homework - Post in CANVAS by Tuesday. (Individual work)

Conduct research. Find out more about the country or origin and the time period of the Cinderella your group selected.

1. What is the setting? What is the climate?

2. What are some customs?

3. How did they dress?

4. Were there any challenges of the day? Wars? Plagues?

5. Why would "Cinderella" be an important story for that place?

6. In what ways does the cultural Cinderella differ from girls/women in our place and time?

 

30 pts.

 

 

Groups will present on Thursday. You will have part of the class time on Tuesday to polish the project. Post the project in CANVAS by Tuesday. Be sure to have ALL names of group members on the title slide along with the country and story title.
