Cinderella Diversity
By stephanie

Clip to ScrapBook   
We do a diversity unit every year including cinderella stories. I am not at my school where I can give you all the exact details, but here is the best from memory.

Compare: Main characters, Setting- time and place, culture,
country, 3 differences, how they got found (slipper), 3 sentence summary etc to original.

Start off with the original cinderella story. Then move on to others reading aloud (as a class discuss everyone records while it is read, eventually they figure them out in small groups- Cooperative group lesson.

Korean Cinderells
Egyptian Cinderella
Cinderella Skeleton
Tattercoats
Yeh

Shen (Video posssible)
Cajan Cinderella (Can't remember name)
Rough Face Girl (Video possible but called something like Indian cinderella- it teaches value of honesty or something)
Rufferella
Well, there are about 20 but I cannot remember them all. sorry


There is a lit guide book that can help you with the 8 main ones.
