In Language Arts and Drama we are beginning a new unit about fractured fairytales. Fractured fairytales are traditional fairytales that writers have changed in some way to put a twist on the story. Some of the fractured fairytales we have read in class are "Snoring Beauty," "The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig," and "Cinder-Edna."
Students have had the opportunity to read some fractured fairytales, and today they started brainstorming ideas for writing their own fractured fairytale. This week students will have time to write their fairytales in the form of a script. After Christmas break a few of the fairytales will be chosen to be used in drama. Students will work together to decide on roles, practice their lines, come up with costumes and props, and eventually perform their skits for the Presentation of Learning Night in January.
