Now, you get a chance to begin writing your story. You have done the work of brainstorming your characters, conflict, setting and resolution and now it is time to put that all together. Remember the Common Characteristics of Fairy Tales but also know that you are not required to have ALL of these characteristics in your fairy tale. Your goal here is to imitate a style of writing but not copy one of the stories you have read.
Submit both your brainstorming tool and your rough draft here. Your rough draft should be 2-4, typed pages, double-spaced and should have a standard font (12 pt, Times New Roman is most common).
