Cinderella Writing Activities
Synonyms:
- One way to revise a Cinderella story is to replace words with synonyms to make the story more interesting or visual. Download and print this (PDF file) version of Cinderella. (ATTACHED UNDER RESOURCES AS ORIGINAL CINDERELLA) Replace each underline word with a synonym. If you need help, use a Thesaurus. Save your story.
Diamante:
- Write your own diamante about a character or characters from one of the stories you read. Either contrast two characters who are complete opposites or one character who dramatically changed during the story. Be sure to keep your writing in your Cinderella folder.
(Examples for synonyms and Diamante are attached below 3)
