FRACTURED FAIRYTALES

During writing, we have been learning about 'Fairytales'.  Over the last week we have been learning to retell traditional tales.  This week we are looking at 'Fractured Fairytales'.  This is when you change elements of the tale (such as the characters or the setting) but the storyline remains the same.  We wrote a fun story together using the following website.  Feel free to try it for yourself...
