Description
Engage English Language Arts and Reading Students with the Original Grimm Brothers' Fairy Tale of "Hansel and Gretel".
Duration of Lesson: The lesson calendar is adaptable to a three-day or longer study of the classic tale, unexpurgated from the public domain text, with reference to Engelbert Humperdinck's timeless opera (that is still performed today). Kids will enjoy revisiting the fairy tale and analyzing it with a literary lens.

I made this resource with middle and high school students in mind. It also works well with upper elementary school students. You can use this resource as a stand-alone lesson or pair it with a larger unit on fairy tales or short stories. It also works well in a Humanities course, a Children's literature course, psychology in literature, or an advisory lesson on social issues such as poverty and neglect in the family.
