My Project

Fairy tales are not just for bedtime—they’re a gateway to learning critical thinking and developing argumentative skills! In our classroom, students will delve into well-known stories like Cinderella or Jack and the Beanstalk to identify and analyze key issues, build strong arguments, and engage in meaningful discussions.

With the help of these books, students will learn to develop their reasoning, consider multiple perspectives, and effectively present their arguments.

This unit will not only enhance their reading comprehension but also teach them how to structure and communicate their ideas in a persuasive way.

By donating to this project, you’ll help provide my students with access to a wide variety of fairy tales that will challenge them to think critically and express their viewpoints thoughtfully. Your support will have a lasting impact on their development as both readers and thinkers!
