During Reading
Set the Purpose
Ask students to read the book in order to identify how the story plays on traditional fairy tale elements. Hand out worksheet 1. Tell students that they should look for the traditional elements of fairy tales as listed on the worksheet. After reading, they will fill out the worksheet and think about how this story conforms to and differs from those elements.
Student Reading
Have students read silently, each at his or her own pace. You may encourage students to stop after each chapter and check with the worksheet to note if there have been any of the traditional fairy tale elements in the story. If you notice a student having difficulty, model a word attack strategy to assist in his or her decoding.
