  • Who Is Cinderella,...Or Cinderfella?
    1 Who is Cinderella, … or Cinderfella? Donna Rohanna Patterson Elementary School Overview Rationale Objectives Strategies Classroom Activities Annotated Bibliography/Resources Appendices/Standards Overview Folk and fairy tale stories comprise most of the stories children hear from birth to 2nd grade. They are used not only to entertain, but often as teaching stories about the dangers and values of life. These very same stories are shared in many cultures around the world. Although they vary in characters, setting, and texture from one continent to the next, they remain some of the most powerful stories for teaching and learning during the early years. Folk and fairy tales have initiated children into the ways of the world probably from time immemorial. Many have changed over time to homogenize into the variety that we often see and hear today to meet a more generic audience, often leaving behind the tales geographic and social origins. By exposing students to a variety of multicultural renditions of a classic Fairy Tale they can begin to relate to these stories in new ways, leading to a richer literary experience. Fairy Tales written through ethnic eyes also give a great deal of cultural information, which can result in a richer experience for the students and students. We can then appreciate the origins and adaptations as they have migrated through time and space. These stories help to make sense of the world for young children. Folk and fairy tales were not meant only for entertainment, they provide a social identity, and instill values as well as teaching lessons. In my own experience I have found that classrooms are often filled with students that either come from other countries or have families that do.

  • Choose Your Path
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1993 Volume II: Folktales Choose Your Path Curriculum Unit 93.02.06 by Mary-Alice Howley I teach remedial reading at Betsy Ross Arts Magnet Middle School which is a fully integrated city school with a strong drama department, and a dedicated English department. This year with the new superintendent, middle school reform is a priority issue. However, because Betsy Ross is an established magnet school it cannot share in the federal funds, which have been made available to start new magnet schools and to instigate middle school reform. So without the benefit of outside resources the faculty at Betsy Ross is being asked to devise new scheduling matrixes and to create new curriculums to more fully coordinate the arts classes with the academic classes. I plan to use the resources of the Yale New Haven Teachers Institute to create a folk tale curriculum that could be extended to involve the reading laboratory with the fifth and sixth grade English and drama departments. Such a curriculum would meet a zeal need. Towards this end the primary goals of this unit are to foster critical thinking skills, to sharpen writing skills, and to refine public speaking skills. These goals will be met by reading fairy tales, comparing fairy tales, writing fairy tales, and telling fairy tales. I chose to base this unit on three familiar fairy tales: “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Cinderella”, and “Jack and the Beanstalk”. The African story “Three Rival Brothers” plus two African-American stories “A Wolf and Little Daughter” and “Wiley, His Momma, and the Hairy Man” expand upon the basic theme of the heroes using their wits and seizing whatever opportunity to achieve happiness, to grow up or simply to stay alive.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Electronic Theses and Dissertations by an authorized administrator of Digital Commons @ ACU. ABSTRACT Fairy tales hold the power to influence societies and to challenge societal injustices, and the story of Cinderella exemplifies both of these roles. In this study, I conduct a rhetorical analysis of four different versions of the Cinderella narrative: Charles Perrault’s “Cendrillon,” the Brothers Grimm’s “Ascenputtel,” Anne Sexton’s “Cinderella,” and Disney’s Cinderella (2015). I examine Perrault’s “Cendrillon” and the Grimms’ “Aschenputtel” using constitutive rhetoric. This theory operates around the basic premise that rhetoric holds the power to aid in the shaping of societies. While analyzing “Cendrillon” and “Aschenputtel,” I specifically look for themes of classism and nationalism, respectively. I then examine Sexton’s “Cinderella” and Disney’s Cinderella (2015) using feminist standpoint theory as my theoretical lens.

    In Memoriam 1942 – 2013 | ROGEREBERT..COM Choose a Section REVIEWS CINDERELLA | Susan Wloszczyna March 13, 2015 | 63 The presence of a new “Cinderella,” the latest of a long line of TV and theatrical movies about the fairy-tale lass (and one lad, if you Print Page count Jerry Lewis in 1960’s “Cinderfella”), caused me to realize that there seems to be a change in the attitudinal wind when it comes Like to popular entertainment. Like 61 The cynical side winks, knowing smirks, throwback references and dead-pan jokes that are hallmarks of post-modern culture are 5 being ever so politely nudged aside by an emerging re-appreciation of old-fashioned sincerity and the pleasures of simply playing it straight. Basically, warmth is slowly becoming the new cool. One of the first signs of this turnabout might have been Tim Burton’s approach to last year’s “Big Eyes,” a biopic about Margaret Keane, the mid-century kitsch queen of the art world, and her struggle to regain credit for her work from her con-man husband. Given the inherent creepiness of Keane’s waif portraits, many expected Burton’s humorously sinister sensibilities to seep into the beatnik-era clash of low art and high drama. But save for a couple “Twilight Zone”-style dream sequences, the filmmaker adhered to telling the true story pretty much as it happened and focused on building sympathy for its main subject. This apparent sincerity revival went global when it arrived in the form of Lady Gaga’s Oscar-night performance of a medley of Rodgers and Hammerstein songs in honor of “The Sound of Music’s” 50th anniversary.

Univ.-Prof. Dr.phil. Renate Vergeiner Angestrebter Akademischer Titel: Mag.art. Studienrichtung: Kunst und Kommunikative Praxis Lehramt für Bildnerische Erziehung und Textiles Gestalten Institut für Kunstwissenschaften, Kunstpädagogik und Kunstvermittlung Wintersemester 2018/19 Wien im April 2019 Abstract Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage wie das beliebte Aschenputtel- und Dornröschen Märchen der Brüder Grimm ursprünglich ausgesehen hat, beziehungsweise mit der Veränderung und Transformation der typischen Motive der beiden Märchen. Weiter setzt sich die Untersuchung mit der Typologie der beiden Märchenheldinnen, dem Grimm´schen Weiblichkeitsentwurf und den gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen an die Frau im Kontext der jeweiligen Zeit auseinander. Das Bild der Frau in den beiden Märchen ist vor allem in der kritischen Literatur dem beständigen Vorwurf der Passivität und Unterordnung ausgesetzt. Die konträre Position vertritt den Ansatz, dass die Frauen in den Grimm´schen Märchen sehr wohl autonom und emanzipiert agieren. In dieser Arbeit wird versucht zu zeigen, dass die Grimm´sche Heldin als Frau ihrer Zeit keineswegs dem Bild der bürgerlichen Puppenfrau des 19. Jahrhunderts entspricht, sondern die bestmögliche Lösung für ihre Situation anstrebt. Im Zuge dessen werden die beiden ausgesuchten Märchen mit Vorläuferversionen der Grimm´schen Redaktionen, Bearbeitungen im 20. Jahrhundert und zeitgenössischen Adaptionen verglichen. The present paper deals with the question how the popular Cinderella- and Sleeping Beauty fairytale by the Brothers Grimm originally looked, respectively with the change and transformation of the typical themes of the fairytales.
