  1. IDEASGrade 7 Language Arts DEFINITION FOR IDEAS AND CONTENT IDEAS AND CONTENT is what the writer has to say, a message. The ideas should be fresh and original. It should be interesting and hold the reader's attention all the way through. There should be supporting details that enrich the main idea and the main ideas should stand out from the supporting details. The writer should show how people respond to life and to each other.

  2. The Little Mermaid • Original The tale was first published April 7th, 1837 and has been adapted to various media, including a movie and theatre production. Written by Hans Christian Andersen in Denmark. Very dark original story. The mermaid sacrifices herself for the prince exchanges her tongue for legs and make it feel like she was walking on glass. • Disney Disney created Ariel and Prince Eric in the musical animation of The Little Mermaid in 1989 and this made it to the live stage in 2007 • Other Versions Many other cultures have their own versions of the little mermaid.

  5. The Frog Prince • Original The Frog Prince is a fairy tale best known through the Brothers Grimm’s written version; traditionally it is the first story in their collection. In the tale, a spoiled princess reluctantly befriends the Frog Prince who transforms into a handsome prince. The original Grimm version of the story the frog's spell was broken when the princess threw it against a wall in disgust. In other early versions it was sufficient for the frog to spend the night on the princess' pillow. • Disney Disney created Tiana and Prince Naveen in the musical animation of The Princess and the Frog in 2009. • Other Versions A Russian folk version "TsarevnaLyagushka" (the Frog Princess) has the male and female roles reversed: the male prince Ivan Tsarevich discovers the enchanted female frog who becomes Vasilisa the Wise, a female sorceress.

  7. The Princess and the Pea • Original The Princess and the Pea" is a literary fairy tale about a young woman whose royal identity is established by a test of her physical sensitivity. The tale was first published with three others by Andersen in an inexpensive booklet on 8 May 1835 in Copenhagen. Disney – sadly not! The story has been adapted to two films, one full length feature in 2002, and a six-minute IMAX production in 2001. Underrated and no Disney princess! Other Versions In 1959 "The Princess and the Pea" was adapted to the musical stage in a production called Once upon a Mattress.

  9. Little Red Riding Hood • Original Little Red Riding Hood was written by French author Charles Perrault. He was born 388 years ago on January 12, today, and has become immortalized as the father of the fairy tale. He wrote Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. In the tale of Little Red she walks to her sickly grandmothers house with some food and meets a wolf. She avoids him on the path but then when she arrives at grandmas the wolf is in the bed after eating the women. When she gets suspicious the wolf jumps out of bed, and eats her up too. Then he falls asleep. Disney The wolf is back! In the tale of little red riding hood and Disney, again an older version of a classic. Other Versions Little Red Riding Hood has been changed considerably in its history and subject to numerous modern adaptations and readings. In the Brothers Grimm version a woodcutter cuts them out after hearing the cries and they emerge alive! Don’t forget the adaption's “Once Upon a Time” and “Hoodwinked”

  11. Jack and the Beanstalk • Original "Jack and the Beanstalk" is an English fairy tale. It appeared as "The Story of Jack Spriggins and the Enchanted Bean“. The original story portrays a "hero" gaining the sympathy of a man's wife, hiding in his house, robbing, and finally killing him.  Benjamin Tabart wrote a version in 1734 and as the moralized "The History of Jack and the Bean-Stalk" in 1807, making the giant out to be bad and therefore it being ok to take from him. Then Joseph Jacobs rewrote it in English Fairy Tales (1890). His version is most commonly reprinted today and it is believed to be closer to the oral versions than Tabart's because it lacks the moralizing. The giant was normally un-named but also sometimes known as ‘Bluderbone’. Disney Disney made a short of the same name in 1922, and a separate adaptation entitled Mickey and the Beanstalk in 1947. Other Versions Many versions of Jack and the beanstalk has been written but not much changes.

  13. Cinderella • Original The first written European version of the story was published in Naples, in 1634. The story itself was based in the Kingdom of Naples. It was later retold by Perrault and the Brothers Grimm in their folk tale collection Grimms Fairy Tales. None of this wimpy "my foot doesn't fit" stuff for the Grimms. To fit her into the tiny golden slipper, one of her sisters cuts off her big toe, the other a bit of her heel. Their plans are foiled by the blood everywhere (which surely somebody must have thought about), but hey, points for trying.
