WORKING WITH FAIRY TALES

Here you have a new challenge... You all know folk tales ( a narrative that is primarily about people that may or may not have existed) and fairy tales ( a narrative that often has magical characters and elements). You all know their traditional endings, but we can change them and adapt them to our times....Think about new ways to approach these traditional tales.
Some possible fairy tales that you could use:
• The Three Pigs
• The Three Bears
• Cinderella
• Snow White
• Sleeping Beauty
• The Gingerbread Man
• Hansel and Gretel
• Alice in Wonderland
• The Wizard of Oz
• Rapunzel
• Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
• Beauty and the Beast
• The Boy who Cried Wolf
• The Ugly Duckling
• The Princess and the Pea
• The Prince and the Pauper
• Jack and the Beanstalk
• Pinocchio
• The Little Mermaid
• Peter Pan
• The Emperor's new clothes
• Goldilocks & the three bears
• Hansel & Gretel
• Jack and the beanstalk
• The miller, his son and their donkey

THINK ABOUT A POSSIBLE STORY AND UPDATE THE FAIRY TALE YOU LIKE. YOU CAN MAKE AS MANY CHANGES AS YOU LIKE!!!!
THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO BE A STORY TELLER AND PRESENT IT IN CLASS. SO COME ONE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHOW US YOUR OWN CREATIVITY  AND IMAGINATION? HAVE A GO ENJOY!!!

TO START WITH, LET´S LISTEN TO ONE OF ROALD DAHL´S STORIES.
ROALD DAHL IS ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL CHILDREN´S WRITERS.

Children love his poems and stories because he writes from their point of view - in his books adults are often the villains or are just plain stupid!
His most famous books are Matilda, James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG. Here is one of them for you to practice your intonation and practice rhyming words: LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
HERE YOU HAVE THE TEXT SO THAT YOU CAN READ IT AND A LINK TO LISTEN TO IT.

"As soon as Wolf began to feel
That he would like a decent meal,
He went and knocked on Grandma’s door.
When Grandma opened it, she saw
The sharp white teeth, the horrid grin,
And Wolfie said, “May I come in?”
Poor Grandmamma was terrified,
“He’s going to eat me up!” she cried.And she was absolutely right.
He ate her up in one big bite.
But Grandmamma was small and tough,
And Wolfie wailed, “That’s not enough!
I haven’t yet begun to feel
That I have had a decent meal!”
He ran around the kitchen yelping,
“I’ve got to have a second helping!”
Then added with a frightful leer,
“I’m therefore going to wait right here
Till Little Miss Red Riding Hood
Comes home from walking in the wood.”
He quickly put on Grandma’s clothes,
(Of course he hadn’t eaten those).
He dressed himself in coat and hat.
He put on shoes, and after that
He even brushed and curled his hair,
Then sat himself in Grandma’s chair.
In came the little girl in red.
She stopped. She stared. And then she said,
“What great big ears you have, Grandma.”
“All the better to hear you with,” the Wolf replied.
“What great big eyes you have, Grandma.”
said Little Red Riding Hood.
“All the better to see you with,” the Wolf replied.
He sat there watching her and smiled.
He thought, I’m going to eat this child.
Compared with her old Grandmamma
She’s going to taste like caviar.
Then Little Red Riding Hood said, “But Grandma,
what a lovely great big furry coat you have on.”
“That’s wrong!” cried Wolf. “Have you forgot
To tell me what BIG TEETH I’ve got?
Ah well, no matter what you say,
I’m going to eat you anyway.”
The small girl smiles. One eyelid flickers.
She whips a pistol from her knickers.
She aims it at the creature’s head
And bang bang bang, she shoots him dead.
A few weeks later, in the wood,
I came across Miss Riding Hood.
But what a change! No cloak of red,
No silly hood upon her head.
She said, “Hello, and do please note
My lovely furry wolfskin coat.”
