Recap: We began fairy tales today! I think many of you were scared about what they might be, but upon further examination, you found that there are more than you had originally thought. We also discovered that fairy tales were not always meant to have happy endings. Most fairy tales were written to scare children into submission. The Grimm Brothers became popular for writing or adapting old folktales, or writing their own fairy tales. Most had frightening messages!
We began the unit by looking into the lives of the Grimm Brothers. We then took a closer look at some of their fairy tales by going on an adventure through the forest. If you were absent, please take the walk and explore a story!
Tomorrow we will explore more of their stories, and you will be given your outline for your piece for the end of the week.
Also, you will need a 1/2 inch binder by May 26th so that we may begin assembling the portfolios.
Nice work today!
