In this activity, students will determine a theme for Cinderella and support the theme with evidence from the text. One of the themes that is clearly depicted in Cinderella is the idea that kindness is rewarded. Another is that true beauty comes from inside. Cinderella’s sisters are not ugly on the outside, but their cruelty results in ugliness. Students can use a grid layout to depict the textual evidence that supports a theme of their choice.
