Fairy Tale Common Core Unit and a FREEBIE!


If you need a fun way to teach the Common Core Standards for English-Language Arts, this unit is the one for you! This fairy tale unit includes tales for both boys and girls. Through reading, writing, and higher order thinking, you and your students will work your way through 10 Common Core Standards using 25 different activities! The students will write newspaper articles, create posters, publish invitations, write police reports, and more!

While aligned to the Common Core for 2nd Grade, this unit can be used in Grades 1-4 with little to no modifications.

The following literature will be used in this unit:

Cinderella (The Original Story)
The Rough-Face Girl by Rafe Martin

The Three Pigs (The Original Story)
The True Story of the Three Little Pigs by A. Wolf by Jon Scieszka

Goldilocks and the Three Bears (The Original)
Somebody and the Three Blairs by Marilyn Tolhurst

Little Red Riding Hood (The Original Story)
Little Red Riding Hood: A Newfangled Prarie Tale by Lisa Campbell Ernst

After reading the fairy tales and fractured fairy tales, students will create their own fractured fairy tales using graphic organizers and their choice of seven writing papers to publish their work!

I know your students will LOVE the higher order thinking included in this unit and the humor involved in each of the fairy tales!  I hope you like it too! :)
