Fairy Tale Exploration Reflection

What is one important thing that youve learned as a result of this

assignment?
o I learned that there are many different versions of the same fairy
tale. When I think of fairy tales I tend to think of the Disney
versions, because that is what I grew up watching. I realized
during this assignment that there are many other versions of the
fairytales that are nothing like the Disney versions.
How do you think that the work and thought that went into this
assignment might help you as a teacher?
o I think that this will help me because when I teach fairy tales to
my students I will make sure that they know that there are many
versions of the fairy tales. I could even have my students read
different versions (that are appropriate) and have them analyze
how they are different.
Can you connect this assignment with something else in this course or
in another teacher-related course?
o I do not feel that this assignment connected to any other
assignment that I have done. I feel that this assignment
connected with the discussion we did in class on fairy tales very
well. I had never done an assignment like this in other education
courses.
Questions about the assignment.
o Do all fairy tales have different versions of their story?
