RL.4.7. Make connections between the text of a story or drama and a visual or oral presentation of the text, identifying where each version reflects specific descriptions and directions in the text. RL.4.8. (Not applicable to literature) RL.4.9. Compare and contrast the treatment of similar themes and topics (e.g., opposition of good and evil) and patterns of events (e.g., the quest) in stories, myths, and traditional literature from different cultures.

7. Integrate and evaluate content presented in diverse media and formats, including visually and quantitatively, as well as in words. 8. Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, including the validity of the reasoning as well as the relevance and sufficiency of the evidence. 9. Analyze how two or more texts address similar themes or topics in order to build knowledge or to compare the approaches the authors take.

Learning Target/Task Analysis
Students at this level must link the reading of the text in a story to listening or viewing the same story. They will make connections by comparing what they read to what they visualized and heard. Students will find similarities and differences in themes, topics, and patterns of events among culturally diverse stories, myths, and traditional literature. Use questions and prompts such as: What is the same about how the story is presented visually (illustrations) and in writing? What is different? What happened to the characters that is the same? What happened that is different? How did characters solve problems in different ways across texts? How are the plots the same or different across texts?
I can...
I can make connections between the text and a visual or oral presentation.
I can compare and contrast what I have read to what I have visualized or heard.
I can find similarities and differences within diverse stories.
Essential Vocabulary
opposition, connections(text to self, text to text, text to world), visualize, culturally diverse, culture, traditional
Sample Assessments
Read aloud text and view excerpt from a video of the text. Relate parts of the text to parts of the video. Read the same fairy tale from different parts of the world such as Little Red Riding Hood and Lon Popo. Use Thinking Maps to list sequence of events in each story. Also, use Thinking Maps to compare and contrast both stories. Use this activity as a springboard for a discussion of good and evil and the likenesses and differences in cultures of both tales.
Differentiation
Intervention:
Content must be adapted to students' needs through use of graphic organizers, outlines, labeling of pictures, study guides, adapted text, and highlighted text.
Simpler version of fairy tales for lower readers. Then use same activities as above only tiered to the student's level.
Enrichment:
Research the cultures of each tale. Students could rewrite the fairy tales and dress according to the culture of their tale to produce a play for each fairy tale.
