Fractured Fairy Tales All grades will write this week. 1st and 2nd grade may have more help as they prepare their stories to go into their castle booklets from week 8.

Explanation: Often times, writers will take a familiar story, such as a fairy tale, and make changes to create a story that is their own and becomes more humorous or silly. Several examples you will want to share with students: __The Real Story of the Three Little Pigs, Cinder Edna,__ __Cinder Elly,__ and __Waking Beauty.__ Share one of the stories with students and discuss some of the liberties the author took. What was changed? What remained the same?

Activity for 1st and 2nd: Make copies of paper for students so that they may complete their stories and glue into their castles. (under file section)

Activity for 3rd, 4th and 5th: Have students help finish the story by plugging in silly words to complete the phrases and fracture the fairy tale. Use the projector and the document camera.
