    All around the World with

    Beauty and her Beast


    Over the next few weeks in the media center, your second grade student will
    explore the folk tale Beauty & the Beast as it has been shared around the
    world. Together we will read several versions of this folk tale including one
    from Japan, Zimbabwe, and Germany. We will also read the Walt Disney
    version. We will practice our listening and discussion skills, retell each tale,
    compare and contrast different versions, determine main and supporting
    characters, look for key details, create our own illustrations, and much more.
    To help your student better understand these concepts, you may want to check
    out more fairy and folk tale books from the Orland Park Public Library. You can
    also visit http://beautybeastlesson.weebly.com for suggested books to read
    together.
    Here are a few questions you can ask your child after school or whenever you
    read two different versions of similar stories:
    Who are the main characters in each story and who are the supporting
    characters?
    What happens at the beginning of each story? What happens in the middle? What
    happens at the end?
    How are these stories similar? How are these stories different?
    What did you notice about the illustrations? What did the illustrations tell you
    about the stories?
    What were the main topics and key details in each story?
    Retell the story in your own words?
