Fairy tales - writing a story together

1. We will, first of all, go through the steps above and try to create a story together in class. 

2. You will now work in groups of three and write your own story. 

Follow the 8 steps. Be creative! Help each other! 

3. When you start writing you can use the picture below to help you structure your text:  

4. You also have this TEMPLATE to follow: How to write a fairytale.

Remember that a fairy tale always starts with: 

Once upon a time... 

4. When you have written in groups you will then write individually so pay attention and learn how to do it! 

Text processing 

In front of you, you have the fairy tales that you have written. The fairy tales are anonymous.

This is what you do with the text that you get: 

1. Read the text in pairs. 

Check if the text has a: 

* hero

* villain 

*something magical 

* a problem 

* a solution to the problem 

Use the template if you need to: How to write a fairy tale 

2. Underline and comment directly on the paper. 

3. Check if the text:

* has correct punctuation (punkt och stor bokstav, rätt skiljetecken)

* has a dash (talstreck) and then a new line when someone is talking 

* is written in the past tense. Are all the verb forms in the past tense? 

4. Remember to comment nicely and help each other. 

5. Show Sara what you have commented. 

6. You will now get your own text with comments back. 

7. Go to Trelson and click on Feedback. You can now read detailed feedback from Sara. 

8. Check the comments on your paper. Do Sara's and your friends' comments match? 

9. Click on "Öppna uppgift" and now improve your text. 

Practice and learn how to use punctuation marks 

1. In the text below I have removed all punctuation marks. When I read your texts I realised that you need to learn and practice how to use: the full stop, question mark, exclamation mark, dash and new line. (punkt, stor boktstav, frågetecken, utropstecken, talstreck och ny rad)

1. Without punctuation marks 

2. You will get the text on paper and fix it by adding the punctuation marks by hand. 

3. Show Sara. 

4. You will now get the text again with all the punctuation marks added again. Compare the texts and fix your text! 

5. Show Sara when you are done!
