Write a fairy tale with help from the Grimm brothers. *100 prompts: 34 Beginnings, 33 Middles, and 33 Endings *Answer Key in the back reveals the origin of the fairy tale prompt. This book is divided into three sections of prompts: Beginnings, Middles, and Endings. Each section works on a different aspect of storytelling and logical thinking. Think of the formula as ABC. Beginning prompts: Students are given A and have to come up with what leads to B and C. Generally, these prompts give characters and setting, but few clues about conflict and plot. Middle prompts: This type of prompt works on the middle logic of a story. Students are given B and have to come up with a logical start A as well as a logical conclusion, C. The conflict is well underway, so they have to unravel what is going on. Endings: Starting with the conclusion, C, students work the logic backward to arrive at A and B. Like a detective walking in on a crime scene, they have to come up with characters and motivations and a logical plot that makes sense with the ending. Appendix: This section lists the story prompt with its original source. Once students have written their stories, they can go and read the Grimms' version and compare ideas.
