Genre Study: Fairy Tales



















We have been practicing the use of comparison and contrast. Through the use of this reading strategy we began a genre study on fairy tales. We have learned that each fairy tale contains certain elements that make them more than just a story, a real fairy tale. Which element did you find was a sure give away that what you were reading was in fact a fairy tale? Was it the beginning, the characters, or maybe the plot? What element did you find yourself looking for immediately as we began a new text? We have also learned that their are many versions available for our enjoyment of our favorite "traditional" fairy tales. Which fairy tale combination did you find most interesting and easiest to compare/contrast? Why?

I think that Chickenrella and Cinderella was easy to compare and contrast because their almost the same by Chickenrella and Cinderella had to stay home while their stepsisters and her stepmother went to the ball.Pearl
