This is such a touching story that includes both folklore and historical references. It is interesting to have such a popular story told in a different country, different culture, and with elements of both fact and fiction.
To use this in a classroom you could make a Venn diagram. One circle would be The Egyptian Cinderella and the other would be the original version of Cinderella. What do they have in common? What are the differences between the two stories?

The use of the Venn diagram is a good idea to make connections between various versions of this story.
Diane J. Wood: "The Egyptian Cinderella" sounds like a lovely version of Cinderella, one of my favorite fantasy, children's story. Your idea of the venn diagram as a fun tool in helping children make choices about what happens in the story and which variation they liked best. It is a great way to aid in their thinking by making decisions on their own.
