In class, teacher guides students through a storytelling circle, where students share their favorite fairy tales from childhood, and if there are any students willing to share short story summaries it is encouraged (especially of cultrially diverse stories).
Teacher will explain the major projects of the unit (to create a high-fashion item for your fairy-tail client), and ask students to partner, or group together based on the story that interests them.
