Read Across America: Fractured Fairy Tales
Student Distance Learning Program
March 2, 2021 - March 5, 2021
Participate in the Read Across America event and register your classroom or student for this FREE special videoconference program geared toward grades K-5.
Event Details
Bubba is bossed around the family ranch by his wicked step-daddy and his nasty stepbrothers. Bubba never complains, though. He is a real cowboy. What makes a story a fairytale? What are the characteristics of that genre? A Museum Educator will lead students in a discussion about the literary elements of a fairy tale. The book, Bubba The Cowboy Prince, by Helen Ketteman, will be read aloud with an opportunity for discussion afterwards. During the discussion, students will evaluate the fairy tale genre and find out why this story is a "fractured fairy tale."
This program debuts on March 2 during special presentations for Read Across America Day. For more information and to register, email Distance.Learning@TheStoryofTexas.com. Space is limited, so sign up soon!
