Writing your News Report on a Fractured Fairy Tale

While fairy tales may be a rather strange source of news, we must remember to apply the skills we've been working on while preparing to write a news report:

1. Identify the main idea and the 5Ws/ 1H
2. Identifying facts that support the main idea
3. Summarizing those ideas into a cohesive, engaging news report.

While watching the Fractured Fairy Tale for the first time please keep in mind possible stories you could report on in a fact-based news story.

To get a focus, it may be helpful to think of possible headlines, since they sum up your story.

Remember while your reports will require some creativity, you must use common sense and the facts of the story to develop your idea.

With the person next to you, discuss your initial idea:
1. Do you have a headline?
2. Share possible details that will allow you to develop this story in a news report

When responding:
1. Share your reaction (creative is good, but is the idea plausible?)
2. and possible ideas that might support your partner's story
