Compare the differences in the settings of the two stories. The children will complete a writing activity retelling the story through pictures. It is imperative that the teacher model how to do this activity prior to assigning the activity to the children. In the middle of the story Cinderella wanted to go to the ball. At the end of the story something special happened to Cinderella.
All stories have a beginning, a middle, and an end.
When we can remember all three parts of the story, we have retold it. Give each child a piece of white drawing paper. Instruct them to fold the sheet into quarters like a greeting card. Assist children through the activity. You may wish to complete the activity as a whole group, coaching them through each page of the booklet to ensure each child comprehends beginning, middle, and end, rather than allowing the children to complete the whole booklet independently.
