| Art study of the Cinderella
story I
thought of a lesson to do on the day before vacation starts,
and I used this lesson before the start of our spring recess.
Because I knew my second graders would be out of control that
day (I know my kids!), I came up with something that would
keep them busy and still have fun. We had read seven different
versions of Cinderella (see Cinderella
Genre Study Lesson Plan), which the class really enjoyed.
My lesson involves recalling those stories. |

Materials:
- Tempera paint
- Paint brushes
- Paper
- A container of water
- Paper towels
- Newspaper with which to cover
the tables
- Cinderella books
Procedure:
- Divide the class into groups of
five.
- Assign each group a version of
Cinderella and given the accompanying book.
- Have the groups re-read the book
and become familiar with it.
Then comes the fun part:
- On each group's table will be all
of the materials. The assignment for each group is to come up
with a 5-part re-telling of their story.
- They are to pretend they are the
illustrators for the publishing company and they have a big job
ahead of them.
Teacher Notes: This
was great as a last minute lesson before one of the mid-winter recesses.
The children worked very cooperatively at their tables. They really
enjoyed studying the different Cinderella stories, so this kept
their interest. They loved to do art, so this worked as a way to
fill in some time before the vacation and give them some fun. It
also makes a terrific bulletin board display.
