We will finish up our unit on folktales by having a culminating activity with Ms. Sheinin’s class and my homeroom combined. We will read the originally Cinderella and other versions from different countries and cultures. We will use a carousel model for brainstorming our ideas in groups and do a gallery walk to see what others were thinking too. This is a great way for students to see how others think and use our compare and contrast skills we have been learning about in reading! There will be lots of fun and discussion!
