Fairy Tale Land is bustling as characters prepare for the Annual Fairy Tale Academy Awards Celebration. In preparation for this exciting event we will be reading fairy tales and learning about the elements that make them a very special type of story. We will be investigating these stories from different points of views to see how the story changes if told by the villain or hero. Additionally, we will be enjoying different versions of fairy tales to see how they are alike and different. We will conclude this unit with the Annual Fairy Tale Academy Awards Celebration in which you will play an important role. Who will be this year’s winners? ||
