I shared different versions of Cinderella with my students:
(We are in Texas after all! :)
Then I asked my students to create their own new version of Cinderella. Here's what they came up with:
Pretty Cinderella
Panda Cinderella
Rainbow Cinderella
Happy Cinderella
Fox Cinderella
Purple Cinderella
Cowboy Cinderella
City of America Cinderella
Astronaut Cinderella
Cow Cinderella
My favorite-School Cinderella. She could marry the "Prince"-a-pal (get it).
Normal Cinderella
Rhyming Cinderella
Wedding Cinderella
(If it were later in the year and my students were better at sounding out their words, I would have had them flesh these out more-what did the character lose, how would the story change in their version. But many of my students are still mastering what I am calling "Brave Writing" where they can apply sounds to letters and sound out what they want to write.)
