Description

This resource focuses on the story map of Cinderella, specifically her early years, detailing her challenges and experiences. The learning objective is to help students identify the orientation (characters and setting) and the complication (main problem) in the story. Students will explore Cinderella's life in a grand house turned harsh, commanding attention to her relationships with her cruel stepmother and stepsisters, who treat her as a servant. It includes sections for students to organize details about characters, setting, and the main challenge Cinderella faces. Additionally, there are directions for outlining the rising tension leading up to the Royal Ball and the resolution involving the iconic glass slipper, encouraging critical thinking about how these plot components create excitement and lead to a happy ending.
