Today's task:
By the end of this period, you should have your 5 Themes poster finished and formatted the same as the rest of your group. Be ready to turn it in on Monday.


You should also have decided on a Fairy Tale with your partner ( we are using 3 o'clock partners for this project), and have most of the Questionnaire finished (Zero Period will have until the end of the period Friday, but 1,3,& 5th period should have their questionnaires done by today.


If you finish the questionnaire, start writing the new version of your Fairy Tale. (A list of Fairy Tales is located on page 2 of the assignment sheet located below)

 Steps to take today:  

* Get connected with your 3 o'clock partner and review the list of Fairy Tales and decide which one you want to "re-write" in a new location

   * Research the web and the Culture Gram Site (link below)  for information to fill-in the 5 themes questionnaire (questionnaire located below)

   * Copy the questionnaire into your Google Drive and fill-in the questionnaire with the appropriate information from your new location (use a country for new location, not a city or fictitious place) 

* Use the information on the questionnaire to re-write your Fairy Take making sure you mention examples of the 5 themes (i.e. describe some of the Human Characteristics of your place, as well as some of the Physical Characteristics)

   *  Decide what medium (paper based, hand  drawings, etc, OR presentation tool, clip art, etc)  

What would the Aladdin story be if it were to have happened in Korea, or Japan, or Southern Africa?

Here is the Assignment description - ( Fairy Tale Directions ) The 2nd page of this doc contains a list of famous Fairy Tales

Here is the  Questionnaire which must be filled-in - ( Questionnaire ), Copy the questions and paste them into your Drive onto a blank Document page. Answer the questions on your document. Once finished, print out the document and bring it to class for Monday. You will both need to submit a finished questionnaire sheet when the project is finished.

Here is a resource to help fill-in your questionnaire - ( Culture Gram ) these Culture Grams contain lots of information that can be used inside of your story to make it accurate to the country in which the Fairy Tale is happening. In addition, you can use the web to find additional sites to help fill-in the questionnaire.
