What is a fairy tale?
There are many different kinds of stories. We can sort stories into
groups or categories with similar characteristics. These groups are called
genres of literature. A fairy tale is a fictional story with magical beings
and can take place in a magical or faraway land. Fairy tales come
from oral tradition and were told by one generation to the next until
someone finally wrote it down.
Fairy tales have good and evil characters and usually royalty.
Something magical always happens, such as a spell, and during
the story a crazy problem has to be solved. Once the problem is
solved, everyone lives “happily ever after”.
A fairy tale often teaches the reader a lesson.

Is it a fairy tale?
We’ve talked about fairy tales and you have seen The Sleeping Beauty. What are
some other fairy tales that you know? How do you know that these stories are
also fairy tales?
Put yourself in their shoes
The fairy tale is a literary genre in many different cultures. Two famous storytellers, Jacob and Wilhelm
Grimm who lived in Germany in the early 1800s wrote The Sleeping Beauty. If a Native American or a
person in ancient Egypt had written a version of The Sleeping Beauty, the setting and characters would
probably reflect the people and places most familiar to them. Pretend you are a Native American or
ancient Egyptian storyteller and tell the story of The Sleeping Beauty in words and/or pictures so it would
make sense to children of this culture.
Once upon a time
Fairy tales often begin, “Once upon a time, a long time ago.” Imagine what Sleeping
Beauty’s life was like long ago. Complete the chart by answering the questions for both
Long Ago and Today.
100 Years From Now
Do you ever wonder what life will be like in the future? Imagine if you fell asleep for
100 years. When you awake how will the world be different? Much will have changed
like clothing, homes and buildings, travel, and communication. Think about what else
will be new to you. What will the environment look like? Will there still be countries?
Who will be our leaders and what will people be concerned with and care about?
Describe this unfamiliar world and what led to these changes.
