Students enjoy them in video format, read alouds, online versions, book versions, oral accounts, etc. Students demonstrate their understanding of the central idea by retelling a fairy tale of their choice in an artistic way: reflecting on the values that are expressed through the craft or structure of the story. Through this unit students also inquired about the similarities and differences that exist in certain fairy tales throughout the world.
