Fractured Fairy Tales

Fractured Fairy Tales are so much fun to write with students.  We had a really good time with it this year.  I did something different this go-round by introducing two graphic organizers for brainstorming before writing and also writing a class story first.  This really helped students write their own stories. 

If you're not quite sure what a fractured fairy tale is, it's another version of a traditional fairy tale that is retold by a different character or narrator.  Some published examples include The True Story of The Three Little Pigs by Scieszka and Seriously, Cinderella is so Annoying! by Trisha Speed Shaskan .

So, here are some examples that were created in my classroom.  I am so proud of the work they did.  This is not an easy writing assignment.  Way to go 5K!!!!!!

If you're looking for the materials that I used with my class, you can find them here.
