  • CINDERELLA Teaching Notes by Raymond Huber
    CINDERELLA Teaching Notes by Raymond Huber Introduction Why use Cinderella for teaching higher-level thinking skills? * It’s a divergent tale ideal for divergent thinkers. Almost every culture has its own version of this tale, using a similar structure. There are over 600 variants altogether, spanning 2000 years. * It raises many ethical issues including: child abuse, appearance and character, power and violence. * Fairy tales appeal to children’s sense of justice. Cinderella is essentially the triumph of good over bad, in a family context. * It provides an opportunity to develop advanced learning skills in: - reading the visual language of picture books - recognising the conventions and patterns in traditional tales. - classification of fairy/folk tales * The tale is familiar and this unit encourages students to go beyond the known by integrating many curriculum areas. Resources * Picture book versions of Cinderella by Perrault and the Grimms. *A website collection, The Cinderella Project: http://www.usm.edu/english/fairytales/cinderella/cinderella.html * Yeh-hsien by Ed Young (oldest version: AD850) * Ashiepattle by Grimm * Mufaro’s Beautiful Daughters by John Steptoe (African) * Egyptian Cinderella by C. Climo * The Princess on Glass Hill- a Norse folktale variant with a male Cinderella. * Prince Cinders by Babette Cole (fractured fairy tale) * Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Mah: autobiography Activities Using Bloom’s Levels (and Multiple-Intelligences) KNOWLEDGE LEVEL Read a variety of versions. Retell as a newspaper reporting this ‘rags to riches’ story. List all the names of the Cinderella character in different cultures’ versions. Plot story events on timelines: by the years of Cinderella’s experience, or by the days of her transformation.

  • Chinese Cinderella: the True Story of an Unwanted Daughter
    After a while I said, “When did my mama die?” “Your mama came down with a high fever three days after you were born. She died when you were two weeks old. …” Though I was only four years old, I understood I should not ask Aunt Baba too many questions about my dead mama. Big Sister once told me, “Aunt Baba and Mama used to be best friends. A long time ago, they worked together in a bank in Shanghai owned by our grandaunt, the youngest sister of Grandfather Ye Ye. But then Mama died giving birth to you. If you had not been born, Mama would still be alive. She died because of you. You are bad luck.” ALSO AVAILABLE IN LAUREL-LEAF BOOKS: THE HERMIT THRUSH SINGS, Susan Butler BURNING UP, Caroline B.

I imagine them opening the pages of my book and meeting me (as a ten-year-old) in Shanghai, without actually having left 6/424 their own homes in Sydney, Tokyo, London, Hong Kong or Los Angeles.

  • Literature Selection Review- Chinese Cinderella
    Olentangy Local School District Literature Selection Review Teacher: Gannon School: Hyatts Book Title: Chinese Cinderella Genre: nonfiction memoir Author: Adeline Yen Mah Pages: 205 Publisher: Random House Copyright: 1999 In a brief rationale, please provide the following information relative to the book you would like added to the school’s book collection for classroom use. You may attach additional pages as needed. Book Summary and summary citation: (suggested resources include book flap summaries, review summaries from publisher, book vendors, etc.) A riveting memoir of a girl's painful coming-of-age in a wealthy Chinese family during the 1940s. A Chinese proverb says, "Falling leaves return to their roots." In Chinese Cinderella, Adeline Yen Mah returns to her roots to tell the story of her painful childhood and her ultimate triumph and courage in the face of despair. Adeline's affluent, powerful family considers her bad luck after her mother dies giving birth to her. Life does not get any easier when her father remarries. She and her siblings are subjected to the disdain of her stepmother, while her stepbrother and stepsister are spoiled. Although Adeline wins prizes at school, they are not enough to compensate for what she really yearns for -- the love and understanding of her family. Following the success of the critically acclaimed adult bestseller Falling Leaves, this memoir is a moving telling of the classic Cinderella story, with Adeline Yen Mah providing her own courageous voice. Provide an instructional rationale for the use of this title, including specific reference to the OLSD curriculum map(s): (Curriculum maps may be referenced by grade/course and indicator number or curriculum maps with indicators highlighted may be attached to this form) CCS - Nonfiction - Standards # 1 - 10 Include two professional reviews of this title: (a suggested list of resources for identifying professional reviews is shown below.
