Welcome to Litsy!

I am using the tagged book for March's prompt for my #fairytalereadingchallenge

Good. Nice short story about how there is always a price for something.

I decided to dust off my complete collection of Grimm fairy tales and read the original Rumpelstiltskin. True to Grimm style, this was a bit darker than the way I remember being taught it as a child.

I liked it though, and now I want to read all the Grimm tales. 😀

“Magic isn‘t something that can be explained: it simply is. It takes while it gives. So” – the spinner steps closer, his outstretched hand demanding – “I have given you magic, and now it must be paid.”

I think this original fairy tale is a little dark for children. However, a remake of this story would be great for a classroom. This a great story for children because it shows that lying has consequences, and also shows that clever thinking can resolve a tricky
situation

This classic story tells the tale of a man who brags to the king that
his daughter can spin straw into gold. The king amazed, locks her in a
room until she completes the amazing feat. A strange man show up
offering help for a price, and demanding her first born. Using clever
thinking she outsmarts this odd man and lives happily ever after.

Rumpelstiltskin is such an amazing TL to always have in the classroom. Its a great example for the genre itself as well. This version was retold by Peter Clover, its the version I've had since I can remember! The UDL 7.1 would help to make the focus on recruiting interest in a different genre. I would also align ESOL strategy 12 in helping to gain the whole idea of this style writing and storytelling. #UCFLAE3414F19

Is your name Jack, or is it Percy, or is it... Rumpelstiltskin

“Tomorrow I brew, today I bake, and then the child away I‘ll take; For little deems my royal dame that Rumpelstiltskin is my name!”

Traditional Literature. This is a perfect story for a classroom as it is fantasy and equips a child‘s imagination. It is fun with a clear good and bad that children will easily recognize making it easy to follow and easy to know who to root for.

Rumpelstiltskin by the Brothers Grimm and illustrated by John Wallner, 1984. This is the classic tale of Rumpelstiltskin as told by the original authors. This story, while old, had stood the test of time and has been illustrated, retold, and remade again again. This classic tale is paired with beautiful watercolor imagery that tells the story just as well as the words themselves.
