Tools for this Unit:

Appendix – Implementing District Standards

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.1

Ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text.

In this unit, the students will use these guiding question starters to help them understand the story of The Snow Queen and the film, Frozen. They will learn to identify the key details in each version, so they can then explain the differences and similarities between the story and the film adaptation.

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.2

Recount stories, including fables and folktales from diverse cultures, and determine their central message, lesson, or moral.

The students will use The Snow Queen and Frozen to practice the skill of retelling a story, particularly a fairy tale. Once they have completed the recounting of the original story and its adaption, they will recount a fairy tale of their choice through storyboards and through their own film adaption.
