Students will act out the fairy tale. Then they will act out the story again either adding or omitting a family member. The teacher can lead a discussion of how the story line changes as a result of changes in the structure of the family, relationships among family members. Class will diagram similarities and differences in these relationships. Class outlines possible story lines and characters from the family unit and creates sentence and word banks for use with each of the possible story lines.
Students can then begin the writing process.
