FAIRY TALES

▶︎ The 2G Fairy Tales & Myth arc started with fairy tales

The structure provided by NY Engage was most helpful for the “formal, instructional” pieces.

• We did not use all their suggestions: we only used “The Fisherman & His Wife” and “Beauty & The Best”

• But— we used the NY Engage structure when adding our own fairy tales (e.g., Cinderella, fairy tales of your choosing) and creating “formal instruction”

• Note: we also used the NY Engage materials for Greek and Hindu myths
  

Many fairy tales pop up in World Tales, one of which was read every Morning Circle.

• After playing “Going to the Moon” (to develop memory for story details)

• Quick discussions can touch on what’s been learned during the “formal, instruction” pieces (e.g., FT vs. myth, character, setting, etc.)

▶︎ NY Engage resources we used (links to download files below)

▶︎ NY Engage materials: complete

There’s a lot to read in the complete NY Engage materials.

Worth skimming, but it’s a bit overkill and way too much to fit into a busy 2G day!

Note: While 2G tried using the “tall tales” for a few years, we eventually dropped them.

• Complete Fairy Tales & Tall Tales — teacher guide

• Complete Fairy Tales & Tall Tales — visuals

There are two more NY Engage manuals! We’ve never used them, but happy to forward if you’re dying for more!
