Welcome to our English class today! Today, we will be exploring the magical world of fairytales - stories of princes and princesses, wicked witches and talking animals.
Let's start with a quick warm-up activity to get our creative juices flowing. Take a minute and think of your favorite fairytale. It might be one you heard as a child, or it might be a more recent story that you've come to love.
Now, think about that fairytale and write down three things that you remember about it. We'll share our answers in just a few minutes.
Okay, who would like to share what they remember about their favorite fairytale? Remember, there are no right or wrong answers here - just your own personal memories and impressions.
Let's go around the room and share. I'll start:
"When I think of Cinderella, I remember the glass slippers, the pumpkin carriage, and the evil stepsisters."
Now it's your turn. Don't be shy!

In general, fairytales are stories that involve magical or supernatural elements and often feature a moral lesson or message. They are usually set in a far-off time or place and involve characters such as princes, princesses, witches, and other fantastical creatures.
But what makes fairytales so enduring and beloved? Let's explore that question as we dive into our lesson on fairytales!
