//__**Fractured Fairy Tales**__// After reading examples of fairy tales, each student will complete the following form about the fairy tale they chose. Next they will change three things about this tale to make it modern. Then they will meet in their preassigned groups to decide whose idea for a fractured fairy tale they will adopt. Finally, they will agree on how to fracture their tale. A completed story will be turned in in quadruplicate and presented to the class orally. Complete the form below.

Take an original fairy tale and fill in the elements below. Then change three of those elements to modern day times or to other animals and locations. After making these three changes, meet in your groups and pick one person's idea. Then rewrite your faily tale. Be sure you have dialogue. You will need to type your tale using size 12 font, Helvitica, and double space. Be sure you have a title. Turn in four copies and be ready to read it a loud to the class.
