1 hour per week. Students are expected to work on their creative writing during the week as time allows. The more time a learner spends writing a story, the more I can assist in developing technique.Class Experience
Fractured fairy tales re-imagine a traditional story by changing it in some substantial way. Students in this class will be encouraged to examine a known story's elements (characters, setting, plot, theme, point of view, etc.) and think about how they can improve upon it in some way. Soft skills such as communication, listening, and respectful critique will be taught throughout this course. In addition, every student will have ample time during lessons to discuss ideas and to encourage classmates to think and write in unexpected ways. Each lesson will follow the same format, but with a different learning emphasis: First, students will be encouraged (but not required) to share something important to them with the class. It may be a treasured possession, a memory, or something that they are looking forward to. Next, students will have a chance to share any new writing they have accomplished after the previous lesson. The rest of the class will thoughtfully and respectfully offer insight, opinions and suggestions after listening. Then, I will read an example of a fractured fairy tale that will illustrate the day's topic. Afterward, the day's lesson topic will be introduced and practiced. Finally, I will meet individually with students as the rest of the learners write. This will enable each student and me to have 1:1 tutoring time within this whole-group setting. The time for each 1:1 time will depend upon the number of students in the class. By the end of this course, students should have a well-written fractured fairy tale to share with you. The scope and sequence will be as follows: Lesson 1: Plot structure Ninja Red Riding Hood by Corey Rosen Schwartz Lesson 2: Ready for Rescue Antagonist/Protagonist/Archetypes Lesson 3: The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig by Eugene Trivizas Character motivation Lesson 4: The True Story of the Three Little Pigs by John Scieszka Exciting word choice/ Point of view/ Perspective Lesson 5: Setting elements Goldie Locks has Chicken Pox by Erin Dealey Week 6: The Dog Who Cried Woof Effective Endings
Learning Goals
By the end of this course, students will have written, edited and shared a complete story or perhaps even two!
Other Details
Parental Guidance
I will use Canva as a presentation tool. Learners do not need to access it.
Supply List
Learners will need a pen/pencil and paper or a word processing device such as Word or Google Docs. Learners who write longhand can take a picture and send to me via email if they would like others to see their piece as they read. Learners who write on a word processing system will have the opportunity to share their writing with the class if they would like to do so. Sharing so that others can see is optional and not required.
