Culture through Literature: The Story of Cinderella THIS IS A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION AND GRAPHIC ORGANIZER

One of the best-known fairy tales in the world is Cinderella. It has appeared in the folklore of many

cultures, with over 500 versions alone in Europe. In order to evaluate how cultural values are reflected in literature, you will read and compare two versions of Cinderella with the American ?Disney? version. As you read through the different versions, think about what behaviors reveal the characters? values, how the geography and natural resources are worked into the story, as well as the traditional values of the times and societies in which they originated. There is a list of websites in the Webliography that will assist you with finding different versions of Cinderella to compare to the Disney version. Please do not choose a fractured fairy tale version or any parodies of Cinderella. You are searching for ones that come from different cultures only.

Your grade for this assignment will be based on the following:

?

Comparison of two Cinderella stories with the Disney version (using instructor-supplied graphic organizer)

There has been no set amount of slides that need to be created for the powerpoint. Again this is not a paper. Only a presentation via powerpoint and a graphic organizer. I can also get a graphic organizer that has been finished as an example if needed.
