Lesson 1: Building knowledgeWelcome to the Fairy Tales Retold unit!
How would you tell your own version of your favorite fairytale? There’s a lot we can learn about classic stories by writing different versions of them. What did the other characters think, and why was the villain bad? What if the story took place in a big city or in outer space? What happens after the characters live happily ever after? These are the kinds of questions we’ll be exploring in this unit.
In this unit, you will:
- See how we can make our own versions of classic stories
- Read new versions of fairytales
By:
- Watching videos to help you understand what good readers and writers do

It could be a different version of the fairy tale than the one you've heard. Fairy tales were usually told orally, which allowed even what was once the exact same story to diverge and evolve into many separate storylines. I've heard Red Riding Hood stories where the Wolf eats both Red Riding Hood and her grandmother and the story ends, where a lumberjack cuts open and kills the wolf to save Red Riding Hood and her grandmother, and where the grandmother is stuffed into a closet instead of eaten. I'm sure there are lots more, and some of those tales probably have an older Red Riding Hood and a Wolf on four legs.(9 votes)
