Characters, Setting, Plot
Materials: Drawing paper, drawing tools
Divide students into groups of three. Tell them that you are going to name
a character and that one person in each group should draw or write the
name of another character from the same fairy tale and pass the paper
and pen to the second student. The second student should draw or write
the name of a setting from that fairy tale and pass the paper and pen
to the third student. The third student should write one sentence or key
phrase about the plot of the fairy tale and raise his/her hand once s/he is
finished.The Wish Fish
Materials: cutouts in the shape of a flounder; scraps of various-
colored mixed media (tissue paper, cellophane, shiny foil,
cloth); index cards
Remind students what they learned about flounders in “The Fisherman
and His Wife” and what was special about the flounder in that fairy tale.
Tell students that they will make their own “magical” fish by cutting out
the shape of their flounder and making scales for their fish out of the
mixed media. Finally they will write their own wish on the index card.
