Create+an+Egyptian+Fairy+Tale


 * Consider the fairy tale....Cinderella **
 * Who are the main characters? **
 * Where is the setting? **
 * What is the problem? **
 * What is the solution? **


 * Now, imagine how this story might change if written in Ancient Egyptian times…. **


 * ** Read the story, __[|The Egyptian Cinderella]__ **


 * ** After each page, record on paper how the story reflects ancient Egypt: actions, clothing, setting, specific words, etc. **


 * ** Create a Venn diagram to compare and contrast Cinderella and the Egyptian (Match the characters. For example: The evil step sisters were three servant girls, etc.) **


 * ** Now it’s your turn to take a fairy tale, folk tale, or fable and turn it into an Egyptian Fairy Tale (*Note: you may change the story, but not the plot). **


 * Long ago, in the Land of Egypt…. **
 * You will need to research information about Ancient Egypt to create your story. Here are some websites to get you started: **

 * You may choose to use a story map or story board to develop a list of changes that you plan to use for your story. **


 * Using Word on the computer, begin to rewrite your tale. (Peer review is important at this time. Buddy with someone to see if they can advise of any other additions, modifications to your story.) **

 * Once your story is written, you will develop a storybook power point. You will divide your story into power point slides, determining the text and picture to support the text for each page of their story. The minimum number of pages is eight slides. It is important to develop an introduction, a beginning, middle, end and conclusion to the story. Don’t forget a well developed problem and solution. An Ancient Egyptian Tale story/power point rubric will be used to evaluate your final project. **
