Three-Sentence Overview of this Lesson:
After discussing the power of serving as a story's narrator (inspired by Jon Scieszka's hilarious The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs!), students will plan an original fairy tale. They will choose 3 little creatures and 1 big bad creature to serve as their stories' main characters. Carefully selecting one of the four characters to serve as their tale's narrator, they will voice an original fairy tale from that one character's point of view.
