My Project

Our ELL English 9/10 team is planning on using Fairy Tales to introduce our students to not on the English language, but to how stories can be similar or different based on setting or culture.

If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales.

If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales. ~Einstein

Our students come from a wide array of backgrounds and cultures. Fairytales are one commonality that our students have and they can be used to teach collaboration and understanding. These books will be used across 4 ELL English 9/10 classrooms. Please help us to bring acceptance and understanding into our classrooms.
