I have done this material as a project. It consists of a short quiz as an introduction to the topic of fairy tales. Then we deal with the terminology and elements of fairy tales and short stories. It is followed by writing a short story as a practice of what has been learned so far. We finish this part of project with class discussion . Second part of the unit is group work. Students will receive a project outline , roles within the group and assessment criteria. I have attached a powerpoint presentation that you just need to show on a projector and pdf document for the group project - Once Upon a Time and Questionably Ever After. *** Last but not least, I included a link to Fairy Tale Escape Room. You can use it as an introduction to the theme or anywhere you see it fits .If you experience any problem with the link or have any further questions regarding this material,feel free to contact me @ rebellious.teach@gmail.com This project lasted approximately 2 weeks but you can adapt it to your needs. I sincerely hope that you and your students will like the material and find it useful.
