Dragon Tales
Did your students enjoy reading about Dragon's escapades? If so, they might be entertained by a tour through Dragon Land. There are many stops along the tour: kids can sing along with dragon songs, play games, read stories about dragons, and perform other dragon-related activities.

The Cinderella Project
This text and image archive contains a dozen versions of the Cinderella story, published between 1729 and 1912. You and your students can read each story in its entirety, or you can compare and contrast the stories section by section by reading one episode at a time from each version.
