This text innovation is based on The Frog Prince Continued by Jon Scieszka, which extends the story of the original Frog Prince fairy tale in a twisted and funny way. The question is intended to elicit students' prior knowledge about fairy tales. There are a few images on the slide to prompt students. After the story is read, students can revisit their answers and compare these characteristics about fairy tales with the story they just read. Since this book is suited for students who have some understanding of typical fairy tales, this exercise would be appropriate for late Stage 1 or Stage 2.
