About This Lesson
In this unit students will compare and contrast multiple versions of Cinderella by different authors and from different cultures. The students will be asked to identify similarities in and differences between two texts on the same topic. The students will then retell their favorite version of Cinderella, and write an opinion on why they chose the version they did.

Very detailed and easy to follow lesson plans that are rigorous and engaging. Lots of scaffolding, too. I do think these lessons would be more appropriate for older elementary grades such as 4th or 5th because of the text complexity and writing necessary.
