Week 3: Fractured Fairy Tales

1.    View/read the following fractured fairy tales.  A fractured fairy tale uses familiar fairy tale (sometimes fable/legend) stories, but subverts some elements, such as characters, setting, points of view, and/or plot points.  They are usually humorous and satirize the genre or modern life in some way.

a.    The Ugly Duckling

b.    The Frog Prince Revisited

c.    The True Story of the Three Little Pigs

2.    Write a brief explanation about how each of the fractured fairy tales that you viewed/read subverts the original and what humorous commentary the tale seems to make.

3.    Write a rough draft of your own fractured fairy tale, using a different fairy tale than the above mentioned.  It should have:

a.    A clear conflict

b.    A developed protagonist and at least one other character

c.    A setting: time and place

d.    An exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and a resolution

e.    Obvious references to the original fairy tale

f.     Obvious differences from the original tale.  You may consider telling the story from the point of view of the “villain” or writing a sequel or prequel to the story or making the story updated (the female saves the man, for example)

*Fairy tales to consider:  “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Cinderella,” “Hansel & Gretel,” “Jack and the Beanstalk,” “Rumpelstiltskin,” “Goldilocks & the Three Bears,” “Sleeping Beauty,” “Snow White.”  You may use other fairy tales, of course, but this list should give you some ideas…

Of Mice and Men Vocabulary

Use this PowerPoint to fill in your vocabulary words and their definitions on your vocabulary packet for John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men.

Creative Writing Week 2: Fables

1.    Read the stories: "The Tortoise and the Hare" and "The Lion and the Mouse." For each of the stories, find and record: the characters, the setting, and the theme. Then, explain which genre these stories are and why you think so.

2.    Write your own fable.  Remember, a fable should be short, have animal characters and provide a lesson to the readers, often stated at the end of the story as “the moral of the story.”

3.    Edit your fable.  There should be no spelling or grammatical errors.  If you need assistance, see Ms. Kappelman or another teacher for editing tips.  You should turn in at least two (1^st & final) drafts of your fable so that I can see your editing.

4.    Find a fairy tale to read/study.  Read it, and complete this Fairy Tale Analysis worksheet to analyze the story.

5.  If time allows, read your free read book and journal for a bonus point or two!
