Fairy Tales with a Twist!

Fairy Tales with a Twist! Photo thumbnail182314
In a fun literary lesson in FJC, students learned to take a classic fairy tale and brand it as their own, with a twist. Second graders in Ms. Kathy Guerrisi’s class chose among at least five books and created some inspired fractured fairy tales using the story of the Three Little Pigs. They revised the well-known fable by taking one of its elements – the plot, the setting, the characters or the ending – and using their imaginations and even pieces of real life, turned their stories into more contemporary versions. Not only did the lesson enrich their understanding of story setting, point of view, conflict and resolution, it brought many giggles among their classmates.
