Compose an unusual version of your assigned fairy tale using the same strategies that Tessa Brown uses in her short stories.
This activity asks you to compose an unusual version of your assigned fairy tale using the same strategies that Tessa Brown uses in her short stories. In the spirit of Tessa Brown’s story, your assignment is to embellish the fairy tale that you have been assigned. You will embellish the story by rearranging words, adding details, and adding citations that change the usual impression that we have of familiar characters. You will know that you have succeeded if we find Cinderella’s step-sisters more likable than Cinderella, or if we are more afraid for the Wolf than we are for Little Red Riding Hood, or if it seems like Goldilocks is more of a hero than a thief. You don’t have to edit an entire story, just pick a section of the story you like and edit it.
There are three rules to this activity:
1) You can move existing sentences and words around as much as you want and change the order of the story, but you cannot cut any words or sentences from the existing story.
2) You can add sentences and words to the story that offer new information. The sentences that you add do not need to be true (you are re-writing a fairy tale after all), but any sentence that you add must follow the rules for statements of fact, meaning that they must be a sentence that, in theory, we could empirically verify.
3) You must add at least three strategic citations to the story. Those citations must be formatted correctly according to APA guidelines They can be made up of references, such as The Journal of Wolf Studies or a letter from Little Red Riding Hood’s grandmother. They can also be real documents, such as the U.S. Constitution. You are free to cite anything you like (medical research, presidential speeches, Cardi B songs) to embellish and change the story. Please note: Wolf studies and Cardi B are my examples. Come up with your own ideas.
