Fifth Six Weeks Project — Fractured Fairy Tales
This lesson begins with a study of story structure and the six traits of writing, using both traditional and fractured fairy tales. The six traits are ideas, organization, voice, word choice, fluency, and conventions. In a collaborative writing activity, students use the Fractured Fairy Tales tool to plan their own fractured tale with several alternate plotlines and endings. Students then add images, transitions, and motion to enhance the meaning of the text.
