Grimm. (2012). "The 12 Idle Servants." Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales. New York: Fall River Press.
This fairytale goes through 12 different servants who explain how they are lazy. Most servants describe sleeping a lot, not working, letting others do their work, and having no worries. This fairytale was not my favorite. It was a pretty boring fairytale because it was simply a small paragraph for each servant explaining why they are considered idle.
Because I did not like this fairytale very much, I do not know how I could use it in a fun way in the classroom. My initial thought is to talk about vocabulary within the fairytale since there are many uncommon words used today.
