Description

What if Snow White and the Evil Queen became friends? What if the giant captured Jack and never lost his golden goose? What if Rapunzel were a bird or a boy? In this class, we’ll read and discuss well-known fractured fairytales, and then we’ll take our favorite fairy tale and fracture it or make it our own.

Class Structure-

In this class, students will learn fractured fairytales and have time to begin writing one of their own. They will also have time to share their writing, if they want to. Students will find my classroom is a place to have fun, practice, and not worry about being perfect!

Teaching Style-

I believe in student-centered learning and the importance of structure in a classroom. I set classroom agreements to help create a safe, fun, inspiring space for all students to feel supported, want to participate, and be able to learn. I encourage participation, but do not force it. I use materials to help students connect and find interest.

Interaction-

I encourage participation throughout the class through both the chat and verbal. I make sure to answer all questions and call on all students who wish to participate. Students will interact with each other through discussion and when sharing their writing.

Prior Experience-

Students do not need any prior experience to participate in this class.

Older Students- Do you have a younger student? This class is also offered at 12 pm ET for students ages 8-11. Head to my Live Classes page to register.
