Corey Rosen Schwartz's "The Three Ninja Pigs" -- Fractured Fairy Tales! Lesson Plan
Fractured Fairy Tales are so much fun to teach! They are easily accessible to students and provide an open door into writing! I often start my Writing Workshops with a Fractured Fairy Tale lesson as they are crowd-pleasers and provide confidence for future writing sessions.
In this Fearless Dragon Writers, LLC Lesson Plan (created by writer and writing teacher Andrea Felcone), you will find a FULLY SCRIPTED lesson plan to teach a FUN Fractured Fairy Tale lesson based on Corey Rosen Schwartz’s “The Three Ninja Pigs”! This charming book turns the original tale on its head by setting the story in a Ninja dojo while updating the classic by providing a strong female pig in the role of 'Pig Three' -- empowering for all students! Also, Corey Rosen Schwartz is known for her clever rhymes, making her an ideal 'writing mentor' for your students!
The Writing Worksheet in this Lesson Plan is filled with FUN prompts to guide your students so they can: Craft their own Fractured Fairy Tale; OR 'Write like a Ninja' -- applying patience and stamina to writing. The bonus 'Fairy Tale Courtroom' Storyboard Handout ties into the Writing Worksheet and helps students plot a Fractured Fairy Tale with a courtroom theme: Will the Wolf pay damages for destroying the pigs' homes? Will Goldilocks finally get charged with 'breaking and entering' ... cue the "Law & Order" music and inspire children to write their own Fractured Fairy Tale! Students will learn about "The Rule of Three," a Writing Concept perfectly suited to twisting any fairy tale imaginable.
This lesson plan contains—19 pages of tested content—including Teaching Tips, Techniques, and my Writing Worksheet (filled with humorous and thoughtful writing prompts) to inspire student writers—even reluctant writers! Writing Concepts covered: Fractured Fairy Tales and 'The Rule of Three'. (This lesson was designed for 8 - 12-year-olds. There is content here to teach for 90 minutes. You can edit to fit your class length as needed.)
