Introduction

Today, you will be rewriting a fairy tale. You will read Rapunzel.

Sometimes, authors like to reimagine fairy tales. Sometimes, they choose a different setting to tell the story. Sometimes, they choose a different character to tell the story. 

This version of Rapunzel is written in third person. This means that a narrator that is not a part of the story but follows the character and conflict around and tells the reader what is happening.

For our assignment today, reread Rapunzel. You will then re-write the story based upon the enchantress' point of view. This will be written in first-person which means you are pretending that you are the enchantress as you rewrite the story. Remember, when we write narratives, we make sure to include all of the following:

The studentā€™s response is a wellā€developed narrative that fully develops a real or imagined experience based on text as a stimulus.
ā€¢ Effectively establishes a situation and introduces a narrator and/or characters
ā€¢ Organizes an event sequence that unfolds naturally
ā€¢ Effectively uses narrative techniques, such as dialogue and description, to develop rich, interesting experiences and events or show the responses of characters to situations
ā€¢ Uses a variety of words and phrases consistently to signal the sequence of events
ā€¢ Uses concrete words, phrases, and sensory language consistently and effectively to convey experiences and events precisely
ā€¢ Provides a conclusion that follows from the narrated experiences or events
ā€¢ Integrates ideas and details from source material effectively
ā€¢ Has very few or no errors in usage and/or conventions that interfere with meaning
