ONCE UPON A TIME:

FAIRY TALES AND DRAMA

Grades K-8

Fantastic journeys, mystical characters, and magical spells-fairy tales are the perfect genre for motivating creative writing.  This residency takes students on a journey that explores the structure of a fairy tale and then presents a simple technique for orally creating an original one.  Dramatization is then used to help students “see” their fairy tale and recognize needed revisions. Click your heels three times and get ready to write and act out “happily ever after!”
