Unit Summary Students are introduced to three common themes found in fairy tales and folktales from around the globe. Although these themes may be familiar, the cultural differences and unique details of each fairy tale and folktale in the unit provide an opportunity for students to appreciate this diversity and learn valuable, universal lessons. In addition to learning about different cultures, students explore the ways in which folktales from different lands treat similar themes and characters—including variations on the Cinderella story, the adventures of uncommonly small characters, and the exploits of cunning tricksters.
