We are looking at pick a narrative for the unit and I'm thinking about either a children's story or a comedy's piece. The comedy's piece would be a extract from a show and converted into storyboards around what they are saying. The children's book would be a good as they stories are normally very simple and to the point. My stories have a moral in them, making them meaningful.
I have been talking to a friend in the class about it and they were looking at some books on fairy tales for this unit. They had a book of fairy tales by the brothers grimm. I read some of the stories and found that they were to the point, but very simple to understand. There is a lot to work with and it is easy to change parts but keep to the story.
I looked on the internet for more stories by the brother grimm and found that the national geographic website had a few in the kids zone. The link below is to a story that I found very interesting when reading it:
http://www.nationalgeographic.com/grimm/index2.html
The story is simple. It is about two sisters and a step mother. One sister is pretty, but works very hard. The other ugly and does not do anything. The pretty sisters goes on a journey and at the end of it she is rich, because she is so hard working. The other sister does the same journey, but at the end she is coated in what is the worth of her service. The moral is that if you work hard you get great rewards, where as if you do not you get nothing.
