Read Across America: Fractured Fairy Tales
Programs
February 29 – March 1, 2024
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
A Museum Educator will lead students in a discussion about the literary elements of a fairy tale. What makes a story a fairytale? What are the characteristics of that genre?
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. 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 is a special presentation for Read Across America Day. For more information, email Distance.Learning@TheStoryofTexas.com. Space is limited, so sign up soon!
