Today, please do the following brainstorm exercise in your journal while I am passing back your Tales of Beedle the Bard worksheets.

BRAINSTORM ACTIVITY: In your journal make a list of SETTINGS that might likely appear in a fantasy story in one column, and a list of settings that might likely occur in a realistic story. For example:
- Fantasy: an ogre's cave, a cemetery during the rising of the moon, a far-away distant land, a desert oasis, a dwarven mine, a witch's hut, a magical pool, etc.
- Realistic: a school cafeteria, a library, in a living room during a Christmas party, in an abandoned factory, a garage, etc.
Use the list you've created a moment ago with your answers to questions #6, #12, #13, #14. Use these lists and ideas to complete the assignment below.
In class please complete the following writing assignment:
1. Choose one of the genres of fantasy from your notes (see post below this one). Select a character and setting for your story. On top of your page, indicate the choices you have made. For example: (in your heading) sword and sorcery.Grammar help:
2. Use the notes you completed with your group from The Tales of Beedle the Bard to get ideas for plots, characters, settings, morals or messages.
3. Write a fantasy story in which a character learns a valuable lesson (either good or bad). Do NOT indicate in the story what the morale or message is directly. You may, however, hint at the meaning or message.
4. Your story should have three distinct parts to it: a problem, a complication (it is typical to have at least 2 complications), and a solution. Your story is not complete if it does not have these three parts to it.
5. Type up your story. This is a draft and worth writing credit. Before you print your story, you should proofread and prepare your story for a reader's eyes. Correct all mistakes and format your story correctly!
