⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely satisfied
Students loved this unit because they've grown up with the stories and movies and liked the challenge of looking at the stories from different critical lenses.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely satisfied
I'm so glad that I purchased this Unit Guide. I've been anxious to do a fairy tale unit with my literacy class to examine the original fairy tales and the ELA elements in them. My kids absolutely LOVE reading the original stories and how gruesome they were, giving them insight beyond the Disney platform, as well as the opportunity to allow them to witness how media is manipulated to cater to certain audiences. This guide definitely helped me with organizing lesson plans and creating assignments, projects and PowerPoints for lectures that are exciting and effective. Great unit guide!
