Cinderella

We have been studying how the same story changes in different cultures. We have read the The Story of Cinderella (Disney Princess) , Yeh-Shen (the original story all the others are based on, from China),  The Egyptian Cinderella , and The Irish Cinderlad . Then the kids were given an assignment to write their own Cinderella type story. (They were given a template.)
