Description
Are you looking for an engaging ready-to-go unit to take your students analysis skills to a whole new level? This unit takes your students' love of Disney movies to a whole new level with critical lens theory! This 5-6 week unit takes a close examination into the fairy tales we know and love, but challenge them to look at them in a new way with critical lenses. All you need to do is supply the movies and have fun teaching the content!
In class you will examine the original texts of:
Rapunzel
The Little Mermaid
Cinderella
Snow White
The Frog Prince
Students then analyze their Disney movie counterparts. The materials included will help students take a closer look at the archetypes, historical/social considerations, and introduce them to critical lens theory (mainly Marxist, Gender, and Archetypal lenses). This also includes three assignments that takes them through levels 2-4 of DOK understanding.
