EIGHTH ACTIVITY

For this activity you should criticize the seventh activity of the same group you did previously. After analyzing the news they posted, you should suggest another one which was related to the tale.

SEVENTH ACTIVITY

This activity was a new experience: you were supposed to read the work another group did (Activities 1 and 3), analyze it and write your opinion. Doing this you read other tales, making possible a dialogue between you and the other groups, a ​​very rich activity made  in the classroom. Good job!!!!

SIXTH ACTIVITY

After reading and analysing the Fairy Tales, you are able to connect the message of the stories you have read and the reality. So, you were supposed to look for some news which reflect this connection.
Some connections were really good! Congratulations!!!

FIFTH ACTIVITY

This activity is related to the key words from the tale you read.

Fourth Activity

After reading the sentences below, we interpreted them together in our classes and discussed them.

“Fairy tales are stories which are based upon those issues which affect everyday life — hate and love, poverty and wealth, ugliness and beauty, hardship and happiness — disguised by a metaphor and magic which removes them from the immediate world, making them universal in tone, as applicable today as it was in the past.”

~Helen Pilinovsky~

“The original purpose of folk stories was not only to entertain but to teach: to show listeners that they were not alone, to communicate social attitudes towards topics and to present possible solutions through the metaphor of magic.”

~Helen Pilinovsky~

“Deeper meaning resides in the fairy tales told me in my childhood than in any truth that is taught in life."

~Johann Christoph Friederich v. Schiller~

"If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales."

~Albert Einstein~

“If you see the magic in a fairy tale, you can face the future."

~Danielle Steel~

After this debate you were supposed to write about the importance of reading fairy tales. This activity would be written in portuguese or in english.
We received very good texts!
Thanks for participating!!!

THIRD ACTIVITY

SECOND ACTIVITY
