After seeing the HTY show, guide students to compare and contrast Cinderella tales from other places to explore how Cinderella tales are the same and different.
Read a new Cinderella tale (see below for suggestions). Draw a Compare/Contrast Venn diagram on the board or distribute copies of one. Guide students to complete the diagram, noting both the similar and the different.
