Sleeping  Ugly                    Author:  Jane  Yolen    Illustrator:  Diane  Stanley    Genre:  Derivative  Fairy  Tale    Grade  Range:  Intermediate      Plot  Summary:    This  story  is  derivative  of  the  well  known  classic  fairy  tale  

sleeping  beauty.    In  this  tale  we  meet  the  beautiful  princess,  Miserella,  who  is  never  nice  to  anyone  or  anything.  Miserella  goes  off  in  a  huff  and  meets  an  old  woman  who  lives  in  the  woods.  The  old  woman  introduces  her  to  plain  Jane.  Plain  Jane  earns  wishes  that  she  uses  on  Miserella  because  Jane  is  always  nice  to  everyone  and  everything.  Through  this  story  you  find  out  more  and  more  reasons  why  Jane  is  a  better  person.    Reader  Response  Activity    A  lesson  on  about  characteristics  (physical  and  personality  traits)  is  what  I  would  do  for  sleeping  ugly.  So  I  would  have  the  students  lay  on  butcher  paper  and  have  their  whole  bodies  traced.  When  the  bodies  are  traced  I  would  have  the  students  brainstorm  as  a  whole  class  words  that  describe  them  (positive  or  negative).  Then  I  would  have  the  students  draw  a  face  and  clothes  on  their  butcher  paper  person.  In  the  clothing  space  I  would  have  them  write  the  adjectives  that  describe  them.  I  would  also  give  the  students  a  chance  to  write  (only  nice)  adjectives  on  their  classmates.

*They  cannot  ask  outright  what  the  name  of  the  character  is
