Once Upon a Time Session 2: Writing Story Adaptations that Hold Together Teaching Point: “Today I want to teach you that when writers plan how an adaptation of a story will go, they do 2 things: first they decide on a change that that they think will improve the story.

Once Upon a Time Session 4: Writers Can Story-Tell and Act Out as They Draft
Teaching Point: “Today, I want to teach you that when you are writing, you can rehearse in the middle of writing as well as at the start of it. And specifically, in writing fiction stories that contain small moments or scenes, it helps you to story-­‐tell or to act out each small moment before writing it-­‐ or at least to do this while writing. I’m going to add that to our chart. Mid-­Workshop Teaching: Being a Spelling Fairy Godmother
Materials: Students’ scene-­‐planning booklet homework, class adaptation of Cinderella, “How to write a fairy tale adaptation” chart, Prince Cinders.
