1. Through discussion, we will review the orginal story of Cinderella, and predict whether we think she lived "happily ever after." 2. We will talk about how Cinderella got to the ball and eventually got the prince. Whose effort was it? 3. I will read the picture book, "Cinder Edna" by Ellen Jackson. As I read, we will discuss and use a Venn Diagram to compare Cinderella and Cinder Edna. 4. After we are done reading, we will discuss the theme/message/moral of the story. 5. Students will then brainstorm other ideas for a fractured fairy tale about Cinderella.
Learning Goals
Students will be able to make predictions, compare and contrast characters and find themes in a story.

Words, words, words. Where would we be without them? They can make us laugh,cry, feel, think, reflect and push us to change the world. I have 40 years of experience teaching English Language Arts to adolescents-- and I am still smiling! What can I teach? If it deals with language, I can do it: grammar, literature, essay writing, creative writing, poetry,and word study to name a few. I have also directed plays for over 35 years for kids ranging from 3 to 18, and for adults in community theatre, so I can teach all aspects of Theater Arts. Because I am also an actress, I am energetic, enthusiastic and animated.
I believe, like Nelson Mandela has said, " Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." That is what teaching should be. AND, it should be fun!!
I have a BA in English and a MA in Humanities/Theater Arts, and a lifetime teaching certificate.
I am now retired. BUT, I am not tired of teaching-- it's who I am and what I do. I have 40 years worth of ideas to share with eager learners of all ages. Come learn and play with me.
