Fractured Fairy Tale: Cindy Rella

Cindy Rella is loosely based on the children’s tale. In this 21st century version, teenager Cindy lives in an unhappy home where there is far too much concentration on cleaning. In this re-telling of the classic story, however, it is the shoe obsessed Cindy (forever buying shoes from Amazon) who is the bully! Only her godfather knows about the unhappiness and envy of her sisters that causes Cindy's bad behavior. Cindy goes to the ball and meets Hans Summ, singer of the best-selling band the Charmers, yet the tale ends differently from the way your students will anticipate. The script is intended for 9 readers, but the number of readers can easily be contracted or expanded, depending on how many groups you wish to have.

The script will keep your students busy; they have to discuss and write on five questions, perform a script writing task, write a fractured story plot pitch, AND perform a fun jokes activity. Phew!

Quick peer and self assessment forms are provided, and a reading rubric for easy marking.
