After watching the video above, try to write your own mini fairy tale. Below is a suggested frame for your writing.

Beginning: This would usually start with 'once upon a time there lived...' and introduces both the character and the setting (2 sentences).

Build up: This part is where the character goes on a journey to meet the problem. They may travel to a cave in search of gold, go looking for a mythical sword or simply be visiting a relative. It is up to you. (2 sentences).

Problem: In this section you will introduce a problem. This could be an evil character like the Big Bad Wolf or a witch. The problem could also be an event, your character may get trapped or turned into a frog. (2 sentences)

Resolution: Now it is time to solve the problem. Here, another good character can come to the rescue or your main character can somehow solve the problem themselves.

Ending: Time to end the story happily with a party or celebration. Don't forget to end with the words 'they lived happily ever after.'
