If you have spent any time on TikTok or Reels, you have probably heard this song. I really wanted to find a way to include music within this text set and then I remembered this song!

This song is great because it helps students to think about the messages in Disney movies about "happily ever after" and how that might translate to the real world. I also loved that this video included captioning for the song and images from Disney movies.

Article w/ Graphics- “The Disney Princesses Reimagined As Modern Day Career Women”

In this article, graphic artist Matt Burr worked with his team to remake Disney princesses as modern career women. The article includes multiple graphics as well as written rationales for each. I think this text would be a great way to talk about character traits within these characters but also compare the modern versions of these princesses with their movie versions.

The combination of graphics and text helps to make this text more accessible. If necessary, I could also create alt text for the images within the text or add audio narration to the article.

Alt text: A young, female model wears a pick shirt with six images. The top three boxes show images of Aurora, Ariel, and Snow White. Their images line up above the bottom images of Maleficent, Ursula, and the Evil Queen.

In the past, my students and I have looked at messages sent through everyday texts such as clothing. In this case, I went to the Target app and typed in Disney clothing to see what I could find. I found several great examples but ultimately settled on this one and I am curious to hear my students interpretations of why the designer chose these three princesses or what the designer meant by contrasting them with their villains.

I think clothing is very accessible because it is visual and it is made to appeal to a wide range of ages. (I added alt text as well.) It's also fun to look at as adults because children are often wearing clothing with messages they don't understand!

I am trying to find more ways to use picture books with my middle schoolers and I think this would be a great way to discuss the idea of "happily ever after" always equaling heterosexual marriage (usually of minors) in Disney movies (and fairy tales in general).

I would probably plan to utilize my document camera or maybe make a video recording ahead of time so that students could easily see the text and illustrations as I read. Depending on what the text was being used for, I might also give students a transcript of the text so that they could refer back to it easily.

Alt text: On the left side, the text reads "Fairy Tales when told by Disney" above a picture of modern day Mickey Mouse with outstretched arms in front of Cinderella's Castle. On the right side, the text reads "Their original German stories" above a picture of an old, rundown Mickey Mouse peeking from behind a crumbling wall in a dark, wet basement.

I was inspired by the remixing work I did with memes, so I decided to include them in my unit texts! I like the idea of memes because they require students to synthesize information from social norms and their background knowledge. They also communicate important messages in clear and concise ways. There were so many good memes for Fairy Tales and I had a hard time deciding, but I eventually landed on this meme as a way to teach students that even Disney was working off of source material and adding their own perspectives and social commentaries. (I also created alt text for this meme to make it more accessible.)
