Writing a Fractured Fairy Tale<br />
Building Background Knowledge<br />
A “fractured” fairy tale is a rewritten fairy tale in which the author has changed the<br />
characters, setting, point of view, or plot—or a combination of those elements. Let’s<br />
begin by looking at an original fairy tale. Here is a summary of “Little Red Riding Hood”:<br />
Little Red Riding Hood is taking a basket<br />
of goodies to her sick grandmother. As she<br />
walks through a forest, she meets the charming<br />
Big Bad Wolf. She tells him where she is<br />
going, and he hurries to get there first. Wolf<br />
eats Grandma whole and then gets into her<br />
bed, pretending to be her. Red Riding Hood<br />
arrives and at first is fooled by Wolf. But<br />
when she remarks on his big ears, big<br />
eyes, and big teeth, he jumps out of bed and tries to catch her. A<br />
nearby woodcutter hears her screams, rushes in, and hits Wolf with<br />
his ax. As Wolf falls, Grandma pops out. Red shares her goodies<br />
with Grandma and the woodcutter.<br />
