Description 1. You are going to write a fairy tale with three/four of your classmates.

You will use one of the Grimm fairy tales as a road map, but should add or change parts of the tale to make it either a modern fairy tale or to give it a bit of a different twist. 2. Pick one of the following fairy tales as your template a. Dornrschen b. Schneewittchen c. Hnsel und Gretel d. Aschenputtel e. one not here but of interest to you. 3. You are expected to use the Prteritum as you tell the story. Process 1. Decide who will create the pad in PrimaryPad and invite all group members, including me. 2. Divide the fairy tale into four to five meaningful sections. 3. Prepare a story board. Your story board has to be approved before going to the next step. Example: i. Rotkppchens mom tells her to take cake and wine to her sick grandmother and warns her not to stray from her path. ii. Rotkppchen meets the wolf who entices her to pick some flowers for grandma and she goes off her path. iii. The wolf runs to grandmas house to eat her, but she invites him in and plays cards with him. iv. Rotkppchen arrives and they all sit down and have cake. v. In comes the hunter who has not heard the the fairy tales ending has changed and shoots the wolf. 4. Write the fairy tale collaboratively. 5. Once your Mrchen is written and edited, post the completed fairy tale on this wiki: https://maerchen.wikispaces.com/. Detailed instructions will be provided. 6. Make illustrations for each section and place them within the wiki. 7. Make a recording for each section and attach it to the illustrations of the wiki. For Exceptional Rating: Act out the story, video tape it and combine the video and the audio recording in Adobe Premiere and place your movie in the wiki. If you have other ideas (flipbook, etc.), lets discuss!
