Fairytale lesson

So, last Wednesday, I did my first lesson plan to my third graders...ALL 33 OF THEM. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. I was so nervous but the kids were eager to hear what "Miss Brooke" came up with for the day.
I started by talking about the classic examples of fairytales such as:
Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty, Three Little Pigs and so on.
Next, I gave them the assignment to come up with their own version of a fairytale. They had to include:
antoganists,
protagonists,
and a problem these characters face and how they overcame it.
I told them they could be super creative and make up things as long as they included the above.
If they had time, they could draw pictures of their stories.

After half and hour they had to present their stories to the class.

This is the first group's story:
Once upon a time there was 3 dragons brothers. There names Ryan, Brandon, and Jaione. One day their mother kick them out because they were getting to big. There mother kick them so hard they went up to the sky and landed on a cloud. All the brothers decided to build houses. The first dragon, Ryan, built a nest made out of sticks. The second dragon, Brandon, built a nest out of mud and sticks. The third dragon, Jaione, built a nest made out of bricks. Then one day a knight came along. She decided to chop up Ryans nest. " Ahh!" Ryan yelled.

Second group:
The Adventures of Mazy Mouse and The Attack of Robber Rat
Once upon a a glorious, super hero, Mazy Mouse day, Mazy Mouse was walking on a dirt road and stuffing down some cheese! Then right at the moment she heard some cry for help. "HELLLLLPPPP!"
So then Mazy Mouse was so mad she smashed here cheese into little bites. So then she flew to the sean and saw Robber Rabbit robbing the Market. Robber Rabit was stealing cheeseballs! That made Mazy Mouse VERY angry.
Robber rabbit ran and hit Mazy with such force and got away in his robber mobile.

Group Three
Once a ponda time, in the time of R2-D2 there were three heroes named Kitty, Suds, and Dufis. They lived in a spung-chip city. One day, UFOs were killing people one by one. But the spong-chicks bang there butts in to the UFOs. The UFOs died!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (yes they used that many exclamation points) They ran away like a baby. The city lived happyly ever after. The End

Group Four:
Once upon a time two knights traveled to a dark casel to slay a firee breathinng dragon and to fight a wizerd. When thay saw them ride away. So the two knights caute the wizard and the dragen and they started a big war.

Now a couple stories I made up with the help of friends.

The Snail meets a new friend
by Brooke and Gale
Shlug shlug..lug lug…shlug shlug. The little innquizitive snail slid down a trail made of large slippery pebbles. Bam! He abruptly stopped his travels by running into a large fuzzy bumble bee in his way. "What's sliding friend?" the snail asked. However, the bumble bee stayed silent and blinked his large black eyes at the snail. This fuzzy bumble bee couldn't talk because his lips were sealed together with bubble gum. The slug felt sorrow for the poor bumble bee who couldn't talk so he gathered some saliva and smeared it on the bumble bee's lips. The bumble bee's lips quivered open but still he was unable to utter a word. "Hmm.." thought the snail, "What else is wrong with my new friend?"
The bumble bee pointed to his throat with his pollen basket, and could only gurgle indefinable words. The snail took a closer look at the bumble bee's throat and noticed there was a large jawbreaker lodged in it. "Oh no!" the slug exclaimed, "How are we going to get this out? Aha! My trustee plunger!" The snail pulled his lime green plunger out of his back slime pocket. He then sucked out the jawbreaker with his mighty green plunger. The jawbreaker went flying in to the distance. "Hallelujah!" both exclaimed! "Vous aviez épargné ma vie cher !" the bee exclaimed. The snail appeared shocked. "????" he replied in Chinese. "Holy crap I can speak Chinese! Well, maybe not." It was a sad day for both creatures knowing that they had communication barriers. However the snail got really close to the bumble bee and gave him a big hug! Both were happy and remained friends throughout time.

The Maidens
by Issa and Brooke
Once upon a time, in a far away concrete jungle, there lived two fair maidens high above the world..in room 483. They dreamt about a magical land where there were beautiful trees and bountiful amounts of men riding on white steeds coming to save them from their mass of estrogen. These were no simple men, they instead had the ability to ravage these fair maidens. It was rather awkward for the first maiden, Madilia, had long entangling bushels of blonde hair. The second maiden, Rilla, had short, kinky, unmanageable curls of an unrecognizable color, going every which way. In all reality they were quite a sight. Rather horrendous one might say. Both of them were quite the dreamers. Madilia dreamt of escaping her fate of a vampire sex slave. She got to run off in the sunset with a handsome man while Rilla had to eternally stay to please the vampires. Which she liked…in the dream. Rilla however dreamt of her possible past life where she had killed a couple people. It was a gruesome tale with screaming blood and guts. After waking from these dreams Rilla pondered how this is probably the reason she remains single. These dreams had come upon while they had passed out from typing ye old royal b.s of a paper. Unbeknownst to them these dreams were their future unraveled to them in the gift of a dream.

I write the thoughts running through my mind. Sometimes they make sense and other times they are a bit cloudy. Bear with me.
