activities and student activities
Tell students you are going to do a similar activity to what you did the other day.
Show them the worksheet that you will be using before you read the story so that
they are aware of what they need to be listening for during the story.
This time, instead of reading Cinderella, you will be reading Sleeping Beauty. This
is NOT the Disney version.

Read the story. Have the book and show the pages under the ELMO as the story is
being read, OR hold the book up in front of the class.
After the story is over, pass out the castle worksheet. Review what each area means
and what they should be writing.
