- A long time ago ("once upon a time" if you will), people used to tell stories to one another for entertainment. These stories were often told in an elaborated, exaggerated version of what they had actually experienced.
-The most famous fairy tale writers are The Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen. Click on the links below to read a short biography:
- These men have written a number of famous fairy tales that you may have heard of including Snow White, Rapunzel, and Cinderella.
- Hans Christian Andersen has written hundreds of fairy tales including Thumbelina, the Emperor's New Suit, and the Little Mermaid.
You may recognize a number of these titles as being turned into Disney movies, however, one of them in particular has recently been turned into a graphic novel (which we recently read in class). Click on the following link to read The Brother's Grimm's original version of Rapunzel.
Once you have read this story, with a partner, create a Venn Diagram to compare & contrast it with the graphic novel Rapunzel's Revenge by Shannon Hale.
