Writing Workshop 12\/18\/15: Fractured Fairytales"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday Dec. 18th, our kids&#8217; writing workshop made up new stories involving one or more fairytale characters. \u00a0Kids got to draw two names from a basket&#8211;these were\u00a0names of\u00a0characters from some European or American fairytale, such as Brothers Grimm fairytales or Hans Christian Andersen fairytales, and usually not from the same fairytale. \u00a0(I\u00a0do apologize for it being rather culturally homogeneous.) \u00a0Kids had to figure out how to put both characters into a\u00a0story, and were invited to add other characters as needed.<\/p>\n<p>Then kids drew another slip, and this contained one <strong>problem<\/strong>. \u00a0Kids had to work that problem into their story somehow, to give them a starting point for creating conflict which is the heart of all plot development. \u00a0Basically, they were given the three most basic elements of a story: two characters and a problem.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These are some of the problems they had to work with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One of your characters is applying for a job, and the other character is the employer interviewing them.<\/li>\n<li>One of your characters wants to avenge a dead parent or sibling.<\/li>\n<li>One of your characters is seriously ill.<\/li>\n<li>One of your characters is trying to make amends for doing something wrong.<\/li>\n<li>One of your characters is homeless because his\/her house was blown down.<\/li>\n<li>One of your characters is on the run, fleeing from an evil queen.<\/li>\n<li>One of your characters has to find a special plant to cure a sick relative.<\/li>\n<li>One of your characters is being bullied at school.<\/li>\n<li>One of your characters was turned into an animal.<\/li>\n<li>One of your characters finds a child lost in the woods.<\/li>\n<li>One of your characters is the victim of a theft.<\/li>\n<li>One of your characters is under an evil spell.<\/li>\n<li>One of your characters is allergic to the other character, but needs him\/her for something.<\/li>\n<li>One of your characters has been accused of murder and has to clear his\/her name.<\/li>\n<li>One of your characters is temporarily blind.<\/li>\n<li>One of your characters is hopelessly clumsy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I provided copies of our fairytale books for the kids who weren&#8217;t familiar with their character&#8217;s story. \u00a0And I gave them\u00a0composition notebooks to do their brainstorming and writing in.<\/p>\n<p><a
