Week 5: Day One:
MOVIE: All Levels:
WATCH DISNEY’S SNOW WHITE (G) Questions to ask before watching the movie: What does the Queen do when she is angry? What does Snow White do when she could have been angry? What does Snow White have the Dwarfs do before eating? Pay attention to the Dwarfs names and things they do in the movie.
OTHER MOVIES YOU MAY WANT TO WATCH THROUGHOUT THE NEXT TWO WEEKS:
MIRROR MIRROR (PG) This live-action version is gentler than even the Disney version. It did not immediately send my son running when the Evil Queen came on screen, but I did not enjoy this movie. Roger Ebert http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/mirror-mirror-2012 Christian Review: http://www.christiananswers.net/spotlight/movies/2012/mirrormirror2012.html
UNIVERSAL SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN (PG-13) I did watch this movie and it is a little rough. It is definitely not for children. It did receive a PG-13 rating. Roger Ebert: http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/snow-white-and-the-huntsman-2012 Christian Review: http://christiananswers.net/spotlight/movies/2012/snowwhiteandthehuntsman2012.html
HALLMARK’S SNOW WHITE THE FAIREST OF THEM ALL (G) This movie is odd. A Genie frozen in a lake grants a man and his baby three wishes. It goes downhill from that. There are people who love this movie and those who despise it. When watching movies, I think It is important to compare different versions, and so I included this one. Here are some of the bad reviews on Amazon. Make sure to read some of the good reviews. https://www.amazon.com/Snow-White-Fairest-Them-All/product-reviews/B0000640T0/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_hist_1?filterByStar=one_star&pageNumber=1
SNOW WHITE and THE THREE STOOGES (G) This movie cost $3.5 million to produce in 1961 and lost money. It stars an Olympic gold medalist ice skater as Snow White. I did watch this movie. My family did not personally like it, but it is considered a classic.
BIBLE:
BEGINNER, INTERMEDIATE, AND ADVANCED: Work on Memorizing Bible Verses ENTIRE WEEK
Verse of the Week is James 1:2-3 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.

INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED: Discuss the Progression of Sin: James 1:15
Then, having conceived, the desire gives birth to sin; and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death.
Detail the progression of the Queen’s Sin. This began with Desire: She wanted to be the fairest and she wasn’t. The desire grew and then she formulated a plan. Sin: She put the plan into action. And Finally Death: In this case, there was a literal death. She stops at nothing to kill Snow White, and this leads to the “apparent death” of Snow White, and eventually to the Queen’s death. The Queen’s evil desire drove her to her death. In most cases, our evil desires drive us to sin and sin leads us away from God. The book Fairest of Them All portrays the progression of sin so vividly.

WEEK 6: DAYS Six-Ten:
This is the catch-up week. There is so much packed in last week that you may want to catch up. Take this week to prepare for your feast, go on field trips, and continue learning about Snow White. (NOTE: The books listed in this section are only listed here and are not in the Appendix. These are if you need additional work.)
BIBLE:
BEGINNER, INTERMEDIATE, ADVANCED: Verse: Snow White sees the good in everyone. She is able to see good qualities in even the most difficult people (like Grumpy and the Evil Queen). Memorize 1 Samuel 16:7 (NIV) But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.
BEGINNER: Either the story of Joseph and talk about how Joseph was the youngest, how his brothers laughed at his dream. How his brothers looked at the outward appearance of Joseph and did not see what God saw.
INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED: In week two (if time allows), Intermediate and Advanced children can read Brother Andrew. This is a true story of a man who smuggled Bible’s into areas where the Bible is banned. He was forced to lie about his activities. If this book is not read here, it is also a recommended resource for Pinocchio.
Day 6: Read Genesis 42

Day 9: Read Genesis 47-48

BEGINNER AND INTERMEDIATE: Additional books: The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein
The Wonderful Things You Will Be by Emily Winfield Martin
ADVANCED: This recommendation is based on the Myers-Briggs Personality Test. The ability to figure people out is essential for most jobs. I have recommended the following book for additional studies on being able to “see who people are,” because clearly, Snow White had trouble seeing who the old woman really was. Reading People: How Seeing the World through the Lens of Personality Changes Everything by Anne Bogel

ADDITIONAL STUDY:
- Learn about the dangers of strangers and people not being who they seem. Compare strangers to the evil queen, and how she appears to Snow White in a different form. Some children handle this topic easily, but some children may become afraid of strangers. This, as a parent, is a difficult tightrope. We don’t want to make our children so afraid of everyone they see, but we want to make them aware of the dangers in the world.
Suggested Resources: Beginner: The Berenstain Bears Learn About Strangers
What if a Stranger Approaches You? By Anara Guard
Little Red Riding Hood
MUSIC:
