Assessment Rubric for Fairy Tale PowerPoint Presentations

Fairy Tale: __________________________________

Group Names: ___________________________________________________
1. As a group, you will research and find as many versions of the tales as possible. Remember, most of you
will have at least two (the original tale and Disneys version) but for all the above there are many more.
You will then use The Brothers Grimm concept of contamination and strip all the details of each the
stories to find the core story.
2. You will create a PowerPoint to present your findings. Be prepared to present your findings. The PP
should include: a summary of the most original tale, several other tales and their authors, what is different
about each of the tales and what the core story truly is. Pictures, video clips (we all love Disney) are
welcome. Sources MUST be cited. Due date is April 13th.
