Now it’s your turn to tell a story…but from a different point of view (POV).
Pick a character from a fable, fairy tale, myth, or folktale…other than the main character(s). Retell the story from their perspective. We saw how different The Three Little Pigs story was when we learned about how the wolf felt. You also saw how committed Cinderella’s stepsisters really were in the Grimm’s version. I wonder what motivated them to take such drastic measures….So pick a story and give it a new perspective.
Your story doesn’t have to be as long as the original, just enough to help the reader recognize the original but also see how different it can be when told from a different point of view.
When you are done, be sure to comment on at least one of your classmate’s stories. Let them know if you like the new perspective more or not…and why.
