Pre-AP
In today's class, we discussed the origin of folklore and fairytales and why the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson collected so many of the stories we know so well today.  We read through and analyzed "The Frog Prince" and "Cinderella" and contrasted how each of these stories differ from the versions that we know today because of companies like Disney.

Homework: Students should read "Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Little Mermaid" in the packet of fairytales that they received in class.

AHSGE Reading Review
In today's class, we read through several classic fairytales, focusing on the imagery found within them.  We also used the fairytales to review finding main ideas and summarizing.
