Once upon a time, in a far away land...

Dear class,

It is time for all of us to start getting ready to work on our creative writing project. On the first stage, we will give a look at some other people's creations that suggest telling fairy tales from a different angle. The links below will take you to some videos and texts. As you will notice the first link will redirect you to CUEVANA.TV, this site provides you with English captions; make use of them.  Watch the videos and read the stories, explore the other side of fairy tale stories and start thinking about which story you'd like to tell.
