reading the original versions of some of the most popular fairy tales. Then we analyzed the adaptations and looked for the changes. My students had a great time doing this. I had my students pick either "Three Billy Goats Gruff" or "Little Red Riding Hood" to write their adaptation. The most challenging part was picking a meaningful change in the story, yet still keeping the original framework of the fairy tale. We also talked about being a storyteller and acted out the fairy tales quite a bit. The acting out helped the students see a difference in how storytelling is showing the action of the characters and the dialogue between the characters. What was produced? Fantastic adaptations that we shared with our first grade friends!
