Useful Fairytale Cites

I like what Dr. Jaxon said in class about not just writing our blogs because we HAVE to but because we WANT to. I already have a file of lesson plans, crafts, books, etc at home, but I love the idea of using my blog as another kind of file. I am promising myself that I will start adding to my blog with helpful websites or ideas. It will be so nice to look back at this and be able to use my blog as a very helpful resource when I begin teaching.

I love this website. It has loads of fairytales with their history and similar stories from other cultures. I think this would be very helpful to show students that Disney Fairytales are not the only version. Also it would be interesting for them to learn about the history of these tales.

Dr Jaxon also mentioned www.readwritethink.org the other day in class. lots of great ideas of lesson plans for teaching language arts.
