cinderella story for children with pictures?

Question

for teaching my children in powerpoint

Answer 1

I am not familiar with powerpoint. However, if you borrow the pictures that image will be what the children remember. Why don't you be creative by letting them be creative.

Read them the story without pictures. Then start the story again.
"In a land far away" Ask them what they think a land far away looks like. Talk about the farthest away from home they have been. Then have them try to imagine a place farther than that. Use keywords, like forest, lake, stream, farmland etc. Have them draw it for you.

Talk about Cinderella and her family. What they may have looked like, etc. What would Cinderella look like after a day of cleaning the castle and sweeping up cinders at the hearth of the great cooking fireplace? Have them draw the step-mother and step sisters. Draw Cinderella at the end of a particularly busy day.

Continue on until the story is finished. Scan in the drawings and type out the story.

Have the children decide where each picture should go and make sure everybody gets at least two or three pictures into the story, don't leave anyone out. Or if there are only a couple of childern make a powerpoint presentation for each one of them.

Print out and bind a copy for each of them. You can have them follow along in their "handouts" as it is presented in slide form on the wall or screen. You can invite children their age over to the house to see the presentation (or not). The children can talk about their part in the development of the presentation.

(I'm not sure how to do it, but if the pictures are too light or too dark you can probably adjust the darkness or lightness in the computer.

This way they can learn about decriptive words, action words, how people interpret things differently. Cause and effect, how actions can have consequences. Concepts like beginning, middle, end. Use of motor skills in coloring. Conceptualizing an image and carrying through, bringing thought into form, etc. There is a lot you can do with the project.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

Hello, I believe that all stories for children are good for them. It helps in development and creativity, it gives them a world that they can see in their minds. The more that they are given the more they like, they start making their own stories and are on the road to becoming our next President, Actors, Doctors, it is endless on what they can become. But the bottom line is that it is your child or children, only you can decide what you want for them, not anyone else. But look at it this way either way you go, it is something that you and your child can go threw together. Good luck with your choice. G
