Point of View and Fairy Tales

Today you will be working with an assigned partner, listed below:

• Ryan and Stella - Sleeping Beauty
• Jacob and Jackie - Rapunzel
• Maggie and Josh - The Pink
• Lucas and Caroline - 
• Nikki and Matt - Rumplestiltskin
• Brenden and Isabel - Snow White
• Zoe and Zach - 
• Jordan and Theodora - Cinderella

You will be choosing a fairy tale, creating a short Google Presentation or Prezi about it, then adding in another version of the story, told from a different perspective.

1. Start by going to this website which links to full text versions of a wide variety of fairy tales, from popular Grimm ones to others from various cultures around the world: World of Fairy Tales
2. Choose a fairy tale to work with and read it together.
3. Think about what other potential perspectives there are in the story (other characters or objects named in the story, factors present but not explicitly named).  Select at least one to work with today.
4. Create a version of the story told from this new perspective - use as many specific details from the original story as you can, but also work to be creative about what you can potentially add.
5. Create your Google Presentation or Prezi, based on your comfort with the software.  If you have not tried Prezi, I recommend giving it a whirl.  My guess is you'll quickly be able to figure out the basics.
6. Share your presentation with me and post it to both of your blogs.  You'll have today and tomorrow to work on it, and hopefully with the second half of tomorrow we'll be able to share them!
