Narrative Writing / Fairy Tales

What is a twisted tale?

The first unit we do in ELA 8 Studies is fairytales! First, we read and discuss as a class the story of Cinderella. We then move into Lit Circles where the students are put into groups and read a "twisted tale". The students are split between the books:

  • Mirror, Mirror (Snow White Twisted Tale)

  • Conceal, Don't Feel (Frozen Twisted Tale)

  • A Whole New World (Aladdin Twisted Tale)

  • Go the Distance (Hercules Twisted Tale)

The students will complete a reading packet while reading and will then do a presentation where they will share information about their books.
