give students to pick out characteristics of a fairy tale and discuss them.

6. Once the students have chosen their character, the teacher will hand out the writing paper
for the assignment. It will be explained that students are expected to fill at least one page
of the paper given, but are welcome to write more.
7. The students will be reminded to re-read their written component over to themselves and
to revise their work as needed, prior to showing their work to a teacher.
8. As students finish the written portion, with guidance and support from the teacher and
peers, the teacher will hand out the cover sheet for students to write their Title and name
on.

have completed thus far and bring them up to be stapled on the left spine.
