ASSIGNMENT:
As children, we all loved fairy tales.  Stories of princesses, wolves, eggs, bears, etc, have amused generations since the beginning of time.  Sometimes the hero wins, others....not so much.  However, each tale usually encompasses an important life lesson.

Looking at these stories, one element is vividly clear.....they are politically incorrect. 

Let's face it, in most cases/ stories....someone should have known better!  In our day and age, technology rules, and society is just different.  People are independent, and can think for themselves.  Parents are more aware, and technology serves as the foundation of communication.  (FYI, Little Red's people needed to pay attention!    Damsels in distress, move over....in today's society, there are strong, independent individuals!!)

Today, we are going to write and present politically correct fairy tales.

1. Make a list of 10 societal changes.  (Think of your tales, and create a list of 10 areas of change.)

-What are 10 elements that should be featured in a modern-day fairy tale.

2, Group discussion - changes, key concepts that should be included/ featured, topics for the tales, etc

3. With a partner, (you may work alone), we are going to create amusing, up-to-date, politically correct fairy tales.

*If you have a partner, you will be presenting in a tag-team manner.  Your grade will reflect the overall presentation.  So, find someone who can play the part.  (Ex: change voices, express emotions, and transition with ease)

Mid Term- I search the word

Directions

I SEARCH- THE WORD

GOAL: Students will explore and utilize various forms of research

1. Choose an intangible word. This word may be of your own choosing with the permission of the teacher, or you may choose from the list that is provided. Each student will have a different word. You will need to sign up for the word you choose.

2. You need to research the word in all of the sources listed below. Make certain you write down the REFERENCE INFORMATION for each source: the title of the book or magazine, author or editor of that book or magazine, the year and place of publication, and the page number of the source. Use the Write for College MLA format section. Mrs. Henrie and I are also available for help.

a. Look you word up in an unabridged dictionary. Copy the word’s etymology and its first definition. TYPE/ copy or hand copy the remaining definitions. If the dictionary does not have the etymology listed, you must use an etymology dictionary. Make note of its previous meanings. This may be in story form showing the growth of the word.

b. Look up you word in a thesaurus. Copy the first group of synonyms and all the bold faced words.

c. Look up in a concordance to the Bible. Find a verse that contains your word; copy it. Explain it. Use the concordance to cross reference a Bible.

d. Look up you word in the Concordance to Shakespeare. Find a passage that contains you word, then, look up the passage in any of the complete works of William Shakespeare and copy the whole speech which contains the word. Include the speaker’s name, act, scene, and line numbers in your reference information. You will have to explain this to your reader.

e. Look up your word in Granger’s Index to Poetry. Use one of the poetry anthologies and copy a poem that contains your word. Make note of the title, author, and page. You will have to explain this to your reader.

f. Look up your word on Power Library—ex. GALE—Student Research Center. Find an article which deals with you word. Locate the article, read it, and summarize the article. SOURCES ON POWERLIBRARY

g. Interview your grandparents and/or your parents plus one other person (three people from different genterations...one must be your generation). Write down what they think your word means. [You will need to cite three interviews including the time.]

h. Look up your word in a book of quotations. Copy a quotation which contains your word and the quotation’s identifying information. Explain what the quotation means.

I. Current movie/ tv reference.  Find your word used directly in a movie/ tv show.  Reference and explain how it is used.

J. Look up your word in Google....once the word comes up, click the link under the def:  more translations.
-This will give you a great overview of the word and show you how it increased or decreased in usage over time.

Nonverbal Communication

Appoint one person to write down the items, phrases, etc. that players must draw. This person will also serve as the timer and as a referee, making sure players follow the rules and resolving any disputes. Divide the players into teams, with at least two people on each team. Let the teams choose a name and then provide each team with plenty of paper and a pencil or pen for each player. After deciding which team goes first, have a member of that team draw a slip of paper from a box, bag, or basket with a word or phrase on it. When the referee says, “Go!” the designated team player draws the word or phrase and their team guesses the meaning of what is drawn. The time limit is one minute. If their team correctly guesses the word, they receive one point. The other team repeats this process.

Rules: seconds to look at the clue; 1 minute

No letters, No numbers, No speaking, No answering verbal questions unless it pertains to the drawing. And then you have to draw the answers--again no words, numbers, letters

No pointing

You may use slashes to indicate how many words and syllables in each word

An X may be used for location 

Draw the ear for Sounds Link

Draw a check if they answer correct a minus if they are wrong.  No pointing or nodding.

If your team doesn't get the picture, the next team will have 15 seconds to guess the answer for double points.
