“What Does Cinderella Have to do with Cinder?”
After reading Cinder and considering Meyer’s use of elements of the Cinderella folktale within this text, students create presentations that convey the significance of these intertextual elements of the story.
Cinder includes several elements from the “Cinderella” story, a very old folktale that has been told in many ways in different cultures. In this activity, you will create a presentation that discusses why Meyer chose to use elements of the Cinderella story in Cinder. Your goal will be to both identify these elements and convey to your audience what is significant about their use.
