Fairy tales are a delightful form of literature that students read eagerly. These timeless stories also provide an excellent place to begin an in-depth analysis of story development, because fairy tales generally follow the same format of "happily ever after," and the virtues of truth and good almost always triumph over the forces of evil. Because of this inherent interest in and love for fairy tales, they are the perfect vehicle for building language skills and developing creative thinking.
Fairy tales are the basis for an integrated learning experience that includes reading, writing, speaking, and thinking. Innovative group lessons combine with cleverly illustrated worksheets to provide opportunities for applying knowledge of various fairy tales. This book includes lessons in logical thinking, creativity, story elements, and problem solving. Stimulating projects give students additional opportunities to apply creativity. This complete guide to fairy tales is sure to be a student's favorite!
