Fairy Tale Narrative

Fairy Tale Assignment: This assignment has an optional group allowance. For this class, a group is defined as two or more people working together to complete an assignment. All members of the group receive the same grade, regardless of who completes what.

Extra Credit: I will allot 5 extra credit points to any student who works in a group.

Format: Regular Heading on 1st page in the upper left hand corner, page numbers in upper right hand corner.

No outside sources may be used or documented. I will deduct 5 points for errors in formatting.

File Name: Microsoft Word file name must be Last, First name Fairy Tale. I will deduct 5 points for incorrect file names. If this is a group narrative, each persons name should be in the heading and each person will have to submit the essay into Blackboard. However, the narrative will be graded once and the graded copy posted to all students in the group. The assignment must be posted in Blackboard by the deadline.

Length: 2-3 pages, typed, double-spaced. It is important to provide the exposition quickly.

Options for assignment:
1: You can take a well known fairy tale and write it the way you wish it to be told.
You can change the character types, setting, events, or ending. You choose what elements to change, but there does need to be sufficient changes to make it read like an updated version.
2: Create an original fairy tale. Make sure you conform to all the elements of a fairy tale.

Guidelines:
1. Remember, there must be a point in telling the story. What is it the reader should understand? There
must be a clear message either moral or didactic (teaching). THE MORAL MUST BE APPROPRIATE
FOR CHILDREN.
2. Create a narrative, but also pay attention to objects or people that need describing in detail. Allow the reader to see the image.
3. Remember the fundamental elements for fairy tales in the construction. It is fine to manipulate these like the updated ones in the unit, but the narrative should still read like a fairy tale. Along with a moral lesson, the tale must include a hero, a properly motivated villain and a magical character or object.
4. The essay needs to have dialogue and proper paragraphing. Remember that we paragraph each time a character speaks, when the location changes or the time changes. The essay should not be one long paragraph and just narrative. We need to hear the characters speak so we can determine if we like or hate them. Paragraphs should still only be 4-6 sentences each.
5. This assignment is not a personal narrative or realistic story. It is a fairy tale so make sure it reads like one.
6. Remember to pick a point of view and be consistent with it.
7. Most importantly, Have Fun! Be creative and enjoy yourself.

Some ideas for narratives:
1. Have two or more fairy tale characters interact.
2. Write a murder mystery involving a fairy tale character(s) 3. Write a western narrative involving a fairy tale character(s)
