Description
The best of both worlds: Student Choice and Comparative Analysis!
Students are guided step-by-step through comparative reading and writing of a Brothers Grimm Story and an Alternative Version. Students get to choose one of seven Brothers Grimm stories to read for their assignment.
There are four steps to this assignment:
1. Students compare and contrast a Brothers Grimm Story to an Alternate Version of the story. All of the versions are provided for through the hyperlinks in the document.
2. Students fill out a compare and contrast chart of the Brothers Grimm Story and an Alternate Version of the story.
3. Students write a paragraph discussing three similarities and three differences between the Brothers Grimm story and the Alternate Version.
4. Lastly, students write a paragraph analyzing the theme in both of the versions.
This assignment takes about 3 (45 minute) class periods for middle school students to complete.
***Some of these stories have some gore. Please be mindful when prepping students. For example, in "Rumplestiltskin," the main character rips himself in half.
