This site's archived multiple versions of a well-known tale are ideal for introducing students to concepts such as characterization and plot, story structure, imagery, metaphor, perspective, etc. The multiple texts allow teachers to work through these concepts concretely using a comparative approach. The simple language and familiar conventions of the fairy tale enable teachers to assign students synthesizing work such as independent and small-group research, report writing, and oral presentations. The site can be used for guided in-class study as well, or for background information for teachers. Although the site has won a Mississippi Technology Application Award, it primarily functions as an online archive and does not allow viewers to link to related sites.
