We would fill in the cluster chart with their words for each. Afterwards, I would show them the picture of the princes and princesses and see if this matches the words given on our web. This conversation will begin to build up to addressing each of the goals for the unit.]]> 2016-09-30 18:17:46 UTC https://padlet.com/alr86737/wq55brmp2f2u/wish/127616848 alr86737 https://padlet.com/alr86737/wq55brmp2f2u/wish/127619524 I would use the book/video "What is a Princess?" to begin the conversation of character traits in fairytales. We would make a list of some of princesses in the story and what they were like. Next, we would read/watch "The Paper Bag Princess" and compare how Elizabeth and Ronald differ from the princesses and princes discussed previously. I would then pose the question, "Does what Elizabeth wears or does change her as a princess?" ]]> 2016-09-30 18:25:17 UTC https://padlet.com/alr86737/wq55brmp2f2u/wish/127619524 alr86737 https://padlet.com/alr86737/wq55brmp2f2u/wish/127621114 This resource allows students to compare and contrast known fairytales with fairytales from other countries. This would give young students a chance to hear stories from other cultures and compare with their own culture.]]> 2016-09-30 18:30:10 UTC https://padlet.com/alr86737/wq55brmp2f2u/wish/127621114 alr86737 https://padlet.com/alr86737/wq55brmp2f2u/wish/127624850 I would refer back to the story "The Paper Bag Princess" and continue the conversation about character traits.  I would ask the students to look at just the cover of the story and tell what they first thought about Elizabeth before hearing the story.  I would show a picture of Ronald and ask the same question.  Then I would suggest how we did not mention by looking at Elizabeth that she was brave.  I would ask who they think about when they hear the word "brave." I would ask the students to recall events in the story showing Elizabeth being brave.  This helps challenge the stereotypical notions of what a princess is and does in a fairytale.   ]]> 2016-09-30 18:42:08 UTC https://padlet.com/alr86737/wq55brmp2f2u/wish/127624850 alr86737 https://padlet.com/alr86737/wq55brmp2f2u/wish/127628105 2016-09-30 18:53:42 UTC https://padlet.com/alr86737/wq55brmp2f2u/wish/127628105 alr86737 https://padlet.com/alr86737/wq55brmp2f2u/wish/127629046 This literacy pack is the perfect companion to Robert Munch's The Paper Bag Princess.

One day, a terrible dragon smashes Elizabeth’s castle, burns her clothes and disappears with her Prince Ronald. Everything is burnt, so she wears a paper bag and sets off to go get him. She outwits the dragon by challenging him. Exhausted by all the activity, the dragon falls fast asleep. Elizabeth steps over the dragon, goes into the cave and rescues Prince Ronald. Astonished by his reaction, she tells him his clothes are pretty and his hair is tidy, but in fact he’s a bum. They don’t get married after all."]]> 2016-09-30 19:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/alr86737/wq55brmp2f2u/wish/127629852
