About this worksheet

Classic Cinderella and Yeh-Shen sit side by side in this 2nd grade compare and contrast task. Students read nine lettered details, A to I, and write each letter in the right part of a Venn diagram labeled Classic Cinderella, Yeh-Shen and Both. The details include a fairy godmother, the magic bones of a fish, a golden shoe and a prince who marries the girl who fits the shoe. It matches Common Core RL.2.9, and the 3-page set includes an answer key that places three letters in each section.

Curriculum objectives covered

RL.2.9

“Compare and contrast two or more versions of the same story (e.g., Cinderella stories) by different authors or from different cultures.”

Students compare two versions of the Cinderella story by placing nine details, like the fairy godmother and the fish bones, in each circle or the middle.

What's inside this worksheet

Story details

Nine details in a table, such as "C. Wears tiny glass slippers" and "G. She goes to the Spring Festival".

Venn diagram

Two large overlapping circles labeled Classic Cinderella and Yeh-Shen, with Both in the middle, for students to write the letters in.

Answer key

A, C and H for Cinderella, B, E and F for Both, and D, G and I for Yeh-Shen.

How teachers use it

After two read-alouds

Plan two read-alouds, one version a day, before handing this out. The details only make sense to students who heard about Yeh-Shen's fish and the festival.

Move the strips

Cut the nine details into strips and let students lay them on the diagram before writing. They can move a strip while they decide if it belongs in Both.

Discussion starter

Detail E, the girl losing one shoe, gets good talk going. Ask partners to find where each story tells that part.
