The Other Side of the Story

Help me give my students different versions of fairy tales to explore point of view.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Maiolo's classroom raised $728

My Project

For this project, I am requesting sets of six of several different fairy tales from different perspectives.

Understanding the point of view from which a story is told is one of our more difficult third grade standards.

Our reading textbook has some different Cinderella stories and I would like to supplement that with more examples of point of view and perspective. I have selected several common and some lesson familiar fairy tales from two different perspectives for students to read.

Thank you for helping my students understand this difficult concept and enjoy reading stories from various points of view!
