The children and I have been investigating common components of fairy tales. We have had so much fun lately reading BUNCHES of fairy tales and fractured fairy tales together in class for our research! :) We noticed that often, fairy tales have: a hero or heroine, a magical element, a prince/princess or queen, a setting of a faraway time or place, a good/bad guy, the numbers 3 or 7, a beginning of "Once upon a time," and most of all, a happy ending. The children and are currently planning their own fractured fairy tale based on the story, "Little Red Riding Hood." They were challenged to change the setting of the story as well as the main characters in order to make a new and exciting version of this well known story. The children are really getting their creative juices flowing! It will be fun to see how their fairy tales turn out!
