  3. What is a fairy tale? • fairy tale: a story for children about fairies, or about magic and enchantment // a very improbable story

  4. Closely related stories • Legend • Fable • Myth • Fantasy • Science Fiction

  5. What are the characteristics that makes a story a fairy tale? • the beginning • setting in a different time or place • the use of magic or unrealistic elements • a problem that must be overcome • a happily-ever-after ending

  6. What would you assume a fractured fairy tale would be?

  7. FRACTURED FAIRY TALE • A familiar fairy tale that has been altered in some way to create humor. The story will need to have enough of the original to be recognizable but changed enough to create humor.

  8. IDEAS • Goldilocks Caught Failing to Deliver Glass Slippers • Frog Prince Tells Oprah about Baking Gingerbread Men • Cinderella Video Tapes Friends Painting Wizard’s Wands

  9. Once upon a time...No, no, no! Hold it! Scratch that, would you? Why does it have to be "once upon a time", all the time? How about, "Dude, it was just yesterday when you said... ", or, "I wasn't even born when this story happened, so don't blame me if I don't get it right... "

  10. With a traditional story in mind, the next step is to outline a plot. The plot outline should summarize what happens in the story. You need to make their stories as surprising as possible. (Nothing is less exciting than reading a story whose ending you can guess right away.) The plot summary could look something like this: • 1. The King and Queen decide that the Prince needs to get married. • 2. They arrange a slumber party so all the local princesses can be given the "pea under the blanket test." • 3. The most ill-mannered, foul-mouthed, bad-tempered "princess" wins. • 4. Meanwhile, in exasperation, the Prince decides to leave the castle and go horseback riding to clear his head. • 5. The horse whinneys and wakes up a beautiful girl who'd been sleeping in the stable. • 6. The girl mistakes the Prince for a stable boy. She tells him she found the pea and switched places with a rude serving girl so she wouldn't have to marry the Prince, whom she imagines to be an idiot. • 7. He likes her spunk and falls in love with her.

  11. THE END
