=A Twist on Red Riding Hood = ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Using the fairy tale we have read in class, Red Riding Hood, I want you to fracture this fairy tale. As we discussed in class, you can either change the setting and characters to fracture a fairy tale, or fracture it by changing the point of view in which the story was originally written. Get creative! ==== ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">1. First fill out the graphic organizer I have given you to organize your thoughts, and to make sure that the sequence of events that you created is clear from beginning to end. ====

<span style="color: #0d0c0d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">I thought the final product of this assignment was very cool. Although the process of getting to my final product was quite confusing and frustrating for me. I think that if I used this technology in elementary grades, I would most definitely have the students work on it in class, so that they don't run into problems alone. It was frustrating even for me, a college student, when I was not in class to ask for help in those moments when I ran into problems. When technology decides to work properly it is a great tool to use when teaching, and it makes learning a lot more fun for students. Even though I hate hearing the sound of my voice, it is pretty neat to be able to see and hear a story that I created.
