HIT: Cinderella by continent

[Susan Thompson-White <stwhite@MAGPAGE.COM>]

At long last, as requested by so many of you, I am posting a hit of
Cinderella stories by continents.  I have included mostly traditional tales
with a few "fractured tales" thrown in for interest.  A few of these
stories can only be found in collections but most are available in picture
book versions. Unfortunately, I have been unable to locate Cinderella
stories from South America or Australia.  I'll keep looking.  I was advised
by one kind person from LMNet that stories from either continent are
difficult to find, so I'll include a few of the S. A. and Australian titles
other than Cinderella stories that I'll be using with my students.

Here's a brief outline of how I plan to use these stories.  I will be
teaching the continents through folk literature to our second graders.
I'll spend a few weeks on each continent so this will be a year-long
project.  The first lesson will be about Cinderella.  I'll tell them the
elements of Cinderella stories (persecuted heroine, magic help, meeting
with prince, proof of identity, marriage with a prince) and will explain
that the Cinderella story they are familiar with isn't the only one.

As I introduce each continent, I'll read various stories from there and
slip in a Cinderella story every so often.  The students will identify the
Cinderella stories and we'll put a marker on our map to show where each
story came from.  By the end of the year, I'll expect the students to know
each of the 7 continents and where they are located.
