Fractured fairytales at LAMB




6th grade students went to LAMB elementary school to share their fractured fairy tale story books. Students chose a fairytale, chose a way to fracture it, re-wrote it, and illustrated it. Students fractured their fairytales by making it a "quirk classic" genre, by flipping the protagonist and antagonist, by changing the setting. We had a range from "Little Red Werewolf," "Jack the Robber" instead of "Jack and the Beanstalk," and "Futurella" instead of Cinderella.
Tangled came out just at the same time so we took a field trip to the movies to compare Rapunzel and the new animated Disney hit. A lot of FUN!
