FAIRY
TALES!!
Hello everybody!
In my second blog, I am going to tell you how the
stories experience changes according with the author who writes them like we
worked in the practical class with the different versions of Cinderella.
DO YOU KNOW ... WHO ARE JACOB GRIMM AND WILHELM GRIMM?
They were two german brothers who are known by their
tales for children. They were called the GRIMM BROTHERS.
They looked for new versions of the tales which were
written by other authors to create different stories using the same characters
(with new adventures and ends.)
The most famous tales of the Grimm brothers are:
- Little Red Riding Hood
- Snow White.
-
Pulgarcito
DO YOU REMEMBER... WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE TALE?
My favourite tale was ''SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS'', because I liked the princess tales, where a beautiful princess
needed to be saved for a rich and handsome prince.
- Do you remember what happend in the Snow White story? You can read the story in this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jzW8sAXs1I
If you have read the story, you can check that is totally different to other version of the Grimm brothers
We can observe...
The same characters: Queen, stepmother, Snow White,
the prince, the seven dwarfs
|
The same structure:
-The queen was jealousy, She was not the most
beautiful of the kingdom according with the mirror (Snow white was the most
pretty)
|
The old woman and the apple, although in the Grimm
Brothers version, the old woman divided the apple in two parts, one of it was
for her and the other piece with poison for Snow white,
|
The prince saved the princess and they lived happely
ever after.

If you prove the two versions,you can realise that are completly different according with the facts occurs, but the structure and the organisation are the same in the two cases.
WHAT IS THE AIM? The goal is that students develop their mind to imaginate things without any prototype.
- Do you think that can you use the fairy tales to work in class?
From my point of view, I consider that it is a funny way to foment the reading in students, I have thought some ways to develop it:
-The creation of a tale throught a story.
-Storytelling.
-The representation of a tale using costumes, they have to make them in subjects like art.
I show you some photographs of our costumes of ''SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS'' when my friends and me dressed up in the last Carnival.
Thank you!!
See you!
Thanks for all the information about Snowhite! Yes, fairy tales are a good starting point to create many activities, and now you can add the Frozen Frames we saw in class this morning ;-). Keep on working this way, Jéssica!
ResponderEliminarHi Jessy!!
ResponderEliminarI think that fairy tales are very useful in class, not only to represent it; it can be to learn vocabulary and moral goals. The costumes that you made with your friends are so cool, I think that it is difficult to make it with children but they can try to make a mural related to the tale or masks and we can add Frozen Frames like Raquel have said, with a sequence in the tale to start to end. On this way they have to communicate to create the scene and think about what is the best idea to do that.
This activity is very funny to kids and they can enjoy practicing English and learning.
Hello Jéssica!
ResponderEliminarI like this post about fairy tales because, in my opinion, it has complete information.
Obviously, we can know that you enjoyed a lot writing about this topic because you love the topic (It is very important ;] ) We would like to answer you this question "Do you think that can you use the fairy tales to work in class?":
From my point of view it is a very big topic and it can be useful and interesting for children. With "big topic" I mean that there are many different fairy tales according to the interest of each one. Maybe, for teachers, can be a little bit difficult to prepare, because you have to think what do you want to teach, then how you will use the resource... But if we want to teach with quality, we want to work hard, right?
Finally, I love the costumes of your pictures. You made a really good job!
See you :)
