Monday, March 22, Day 1
Ariela Kluk and Wyatt Quillin
Today was the first day in our “Stories, Retellings, Disney, and more” A - Term, and we dug into the world of Cinderella. We started off watching Disney’s original version of Cinderella, and both in-person and online students watched and took notes. This was a classic and a crowd-pleaser, as always. We then read the Grimm’s Fairytales version of Cinderella. The last version of Cinderella that we watched was the Brandy/ Rodgers and Hammerstein’s version of Cinderella with, you know it--Whitney Houston. This version had a lot of diversity and racial diversity, which was really progressive and inspiring to see.
All of the Cinderella movies shared a common moral in being kind and believing in your dreams. Because she is always on the outs in her family, Cinderella is alone or talking to animals or strangers. She is treated like a servant but always finds the kindness to do what her family says. Overall, today was extremely successful and informative, and I know that we all will look at Cinderella from a different perspective from now on.
Students online are able to watch the movie through zoom with the in-person students.
