Fairy Tales Magic in Writing
Favorite Fairy Tales I asked 10 of my friends what their favorite fairy tale was. Here are the results. 2 of them liked Cinderella 3 liked The Three Little Pigs 2 liked Beauty and the Beast 1 liked Snow White 2 liked Aladdin
Once Upon a Time…What now? Almost everyone is familiar with the opening line of a fairy tale, but what other elements are involved?  Let’s take a look at the basic structure of fairy tales. Fairy tales are fiction. Fairy tales usually have special beginning and ending words. Fairy tales show a contrast between “good” and “bad” characters. Fairy tales often have elements of magic included
Characteristics of Fairy Tales:“F” is for FICTION A work of fiction is one that is about imaginary events or people. Fairy tales are fiction because they are made up; they are not real and usually have a far-fetched sequence of events.
Characteristics of Fairy Tales:Special beginning and ending How do most fairy tales you can think of begin? “Once upon a time…” How do they normally end? “…and they lived happily ever after.” Not all fairy tales must use these phrases, and somemay even have a surprise ending. Pay attention to the fairy tales we read in class and see if they follow this pattern.
Characteristics of Fairy Tales:“Good” vs. “Bad” Think of a fairy tale you know. Is there a “good guy” or a “bad guy”? Most fairy tales will have a good character who is kind and innocent, and sometimes will need the help of others. Most fairy tales also have a bad character who tries to ruin things for the other characters. The bad character usually loses in the end.
