  16. Step 3 Create your own fairytale for Rowland High School students. Put the story in a plot diagram format. (Please note, you may use names of actual people, but it must be in a positive manner. If you make fun of someone who is not in your group and agrees to it, you will receive a 0 for the entire assignment.)

  17. Step 4 Write out the fairy tale in essay format. Your story should be 300-700 words. Your essay should be printed using MLA format. Make sure each group member’s name is on the essay.

  18. Step 5 Present your fairy tale to the class by acting out a skit, recording a skit, performing a puppet show, Power Point story board, or other option (must have prior approval from Ms. Wellmeyer) Please note: If you are using the computer, VHS, or DVD player, you must check that your media works before the day of your presentation. If your media does not work, you will get a 0 for the presentation grade.

  19. During presentations… When other groups are presenting their fairytales, you will plot out each group’s story on a plot diagram. So, remember to make the climax and moral clear when writing your own fairytale. If the class cannot understand your moral, your group will lose points.
