Fable - Writing - Text Analysis

When getting children to write, it is important (if not critical) to give them a high-quality text that the children can:

pull vocabulary from
study setting/character descriptions
get a sense of mood
learn about suspense
etc.

With this text analysis, I have written a 1.5 page document which shows children an amazing example of writing. This story fulfills many different requirements. It could be used:

• to show suspense writing
• to show how characters are revealed through dialogue and actions, rather than descriptions
• to set up a twist ending
• to show rich descriptions and details
• to show settings/character descriptions
• to show rich vocabulary
• to show depth of characters
• etc

Seriously, each year I read this Text Analysis to the children, I get children asking me to write the next chapter. The children love stories and this provides the children with a solid example of high-quality writing for a purpose.
