What is a fractured fairytale, you ask? A fractured fairy tale is a modernized or rewritten version of the original. Ever thought what would have happened if Jack never traded his money for the beans? What if all the king's men could put Humpty Dumpty together again? I bet he wouldn't sit on any more walls. If you love fairy tales, this class is for you! In this writing club, we will discuss fractured fairy tales, play fairytale and writing games, and write our own fractured fairytales. Discussions will be student-led and will included strengths and weaknesses of the original stories, how they fit in modern times, and how they made us feel. There will be a different literary focus each week such as character development, plot development, setting, and perspective. Focusing on a single literary element will help learners see just how impactful that element can be and will refine skills used in writing and reading comprehension. In addition to the peer feedback, learners will submit their stories and individual feedback will be provided in a private message. If writers do not complete their story during class, they will have the option to finish it and submit it at a later time. Week of June 9: Snow White- focus on perspective Week of June 16: Beauty and The Beast- focus on perspective Week of June 23: Writer's Choice Gender Swap! We will switch genders for the fairytale of the writer's choosing. (For example, the prince in Sleeping Beauty pricks his finger and Princess Aurora has to save him).
