Lesson Introduction (hook): Student will know:

Timing The teacher will ask the students to share the titles of the
fairy tales they know; the objective is to get them to name
fairy tales. The objective behind this introduction is to get
students to begin to reflect on the similarities that all the
fairy tales have in common.
Students will acquire a better understanding of
literary analysis. By having the entire class
determine the elements that characterize a
fairy tale, students will be able to better
understand what we want them to achieve

Development (Learning activities – step by step sequential
procedure):
The first part will be a student-centered lesson, during this lesson
the students will be the ones who determine the elements that all
the fairy tales have in common. The teacher plays a more
supporting role guiding the students as well as complementing
the lesson by providing the missing elements.
Students will reinvest their previous experiences with fairy tales
that they either read or saw in class or at home.
The second part of the lesson will be a reading of the of the
fairy tale “The Paper Bag Princess”. Once the reading is
complete, the students will be asked what are the similarities
and differences between this fairy tale and the ones we
covered in the first part of the lesson. Then we make
connections to newer fairy tales that we can see in the world
like the ones we see Disney releasing.
Do the new fairy tales fit the mold of old fairy tales, or do
they differ?
What are the new values that these fairy tales teach us?
Why did these stories change? Has society changed?
Closure (transition):
The closure activity will be a quiz where the students will
answer a short multiple-choice questionnaire the make sure
that the students paid attention to the lesson. The teacher
then corrects the questionnaire with the students and
clarifies any elements that they do not understand.
Students should be able to demonstrate
understanding of the sexist nature of the
older fairy tales that they have seen. They
will also be able to voice their
understanding of the elements presented
to them by having them interact with the
lesson when prompted.
Students will do:
Students will be able to better determine
the elements that characterize a story.
They will be able to determine basic themes
such as the hero saves the princess.
Cross Curricular Competencies:
To use information
- To gather information
- To put information to use
Broad Areas of Learning:
Media Literacy:
- Students will critical judgment of
the themes of stories they read or
watch and their implications.
Universal Design for Learning/
Differentiation:
I will present the information in both a visual
format as well as an oral format allowing for
student to tap in 2 of the learning styles.
Students will get the opportunity to express
their answers in an oral manner giving them
more flexibility in the way they choose the
express it.
FORMATIVE - Assessment FOR learning:
Refer to the Cooperating teacher to better
assess the level of the students as well as
their strengths and weaknesses. Also refer
to my previous interactions with the
students.

 FORMATIVE - Assessment AS learning:
Students will assess their own
understanding of the lesson by doing the
closure activities allowing them to
accurately determine the elements they
have not properly understood.

SUMMATIVE - Assessment OF learning:

The teacher will determine whether the
students have fully understood the lesson
through the use of venn diagram. If most of
the students have placed the majority of the
elements in the correct section then the
teacher
can infer that the students have understood
the content of the lesson.

Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Considerations:

Present different fairy tales from all over the world, introduce the students to a more inclusive understanding of story telling and
fairy tales.
Further considerations:
This lesson allows the students to better understand the importance of teaching good values to the children through stories as
well as the importance of being open and inclusive in all the things they do.
