=Fractured Fairy Tale Assignment= The Crane and the Wolf "The Story of Tank Wrecksause"

We have just read the story of //The Crane and the Wolf.//. While keeping it school appropriate, change the characters, setting, and come up with your own creative version of the story. You may make the story funny, sad, scary or any way you can think of. You will use the below space to map out your ideas for your story and when ready, I will give you a sheet of paper to write out the final story.
 * Your Assignment:**

W.3.3 Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, descriptive details, and clear event sequences.
 * Writing Standards:**
 * 1) Establish a situation and introduce a narrator and/or characters; organize an event sequence that unfolds naturally.
 * 2) Use dialogue and descriptions of actions, thoughts, and feelings to develop experiences and events or show the response of characters to situations.
 * 3) Use temporal words and phrases to signal event order.
 * 4) Provide a sense of closure.

This whole process was a new one for me. First, I am not a huge writer so having to writing a book and go through that whole process was at times frustrating but also fun. Secondly, I had no idea that there were resources out there like this that allow you to create things like this for free or even I am sure at a reasonable cost. I surprisingly enjoy this whole experience and thought it was a fun assignment that would definitely be something worth trying in future years as an educator.
