Your Opinion, Please

So the past few weeks, my fourth and fifth grade Extended Day students have been comparing various folk tales. We read Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters and The Rough-Face Girl. The fifth graders also read the traditional story Cinderella. We created "T" Charts and what the 5th graders called "Double T" Charts to take notes as we read. Both groups did a great job of analyzing the information. They learned that if you write information about one character you must include similar information about the other character. You should check out the wall outside of my room to see their great work!

While I like all three stories, one is my favorite. I'm not going to tell you which one. You can try to guess which one I like best- but you must tell me WHY you think that. I was also wondering which story YOU liked best and why.
