Opening/Warmup/Connecting Prior Knowledge
Before starting the story:
One Riddle, One Answer is a Persian twist to the story of Cinderella. Before starting this story, gather as many versions of Cinderella as you can.
Read many versions of Cinderella. (Teacher aloud or students alone or in pairs.)
As a class, create a graphic organizer to compare and contrast One Riddle, One Answer to a traditional version of Cinderella.
Have students create a comparison matrix of 5 different versions of Cinderella or any other fairy tale. The 5 books must be five different versions of the same story. Template can be found in the resource section.
Extension Activity:
Some students could choose or be assigned the task of rewriting a fairy tale to create a new version of this fairy tale. If enough students complete this task, they could use the computer to publish (and/or illustrate) a class collection of “Whacky Fairy Tales” or “Backwards Fairy Tales.”
