what is a fairy tale????, why we still use it (entertainment, tradition, learn about the past) how it is passed on through a storyteller through oral and literary tradition. Who are famous fairy tale collectors? (Grimm Brothers, Charles Perrault) Do other cultues have the same tales? Is it different?  

There will be three teams. Each team has to find a story from the internet that is like Cinderella but from a differnt culture. A student from each team will read the sotry. There will be two chairs. This student will be in a chair facing away from the other students. The rest of the students will line up opposite of their teammate. Then after reading the story one student will come up and the storyteller will tell them the story in a timed manner. There will be 1 minute on the clock. Once that is up the storyteller will go back into the line and sit down. The one being told the story will be the story teller and a student from the line will sit down in the chair and listen to their version of the story for a minute. Once everyone has been told the story, the last person will tell the teacher their story. Whichever team gets closer to the true version of the story wins.  **C. Guided Practice: **
