FAIRY TALES FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

Here’s the deal – you will take a good ol’ fashioned fairy tale and turn into modernized 2010 version! So…..Cinderella might still have an evil stepmother and evil stepsisters, but she’s going to the Jingle Ball, not a traditional ball, and she loses her suede Ugg, not a glass slipper. Got it? Get creative and start working! (We will show you examples!)

Your final product will be an e-storybook that you create using PowerPoint. The storybooks will have sound, voice narration and animation – be sure to follow the checklist carefully. Check off each step as you go!

Step One: Writing the Story January 6-8 Write the modern fairy tale. (Be sure to have a conflict, rising action, January 6, 7 Add required climax and denouement). literary devices. Break the text down across 10-15 slides. You must write the text exactly as January 8 Make each RED it will appear on EACH slide. (This is called Storyboards). Some of your font. story will appear as dialogue blurbs.  simile Add required intro material. Make each GREEN font. January 8  metaphor Intro word Intro participial phrase Intro infinitive phrase  hyperbole Intro prep phrase Intro dependent clause  cliché Step Two: Illustrating/Coloring/Scanning January 11-13  oxymoron Illustrate each slide. Your illustrations should not be done in fine-detail. January 11, 12, 13  personification They should be cartoon-ish, fun and fairly easy to replicate as you will be  alliteration creating 10-15 illustrations. They MUST be close-lined!

***You MUST have a working flash drive at ALL times during this project. Cindyrella, the Lost Ugg and the Jingle Ball

G Once upon an “A” day, there was a cutie named Lil’ Cindy. There was only one event Lil Cindy wanted to attend more than anything in the world: 2009 Jingle Ball. However, there was a conflict – Lil’ Cindy’s parents said, “No way! We got your interim grades, and they were terrible!” Each day, Lil Cindy begged and begged. After listening to her beg long enough, Lil Cindy’s parents finally said, “Okay, Cindyrella. You can go to the Jingle Ball but only if you study all of your English flashcards from September, review your entire Pre-Algebra textbook, watch all of the National Geographic episodes On Demand, and re-do your science labs. Then and only then can you go to the Jingle Ball.”

Lil’ Cindy was crushed. She knew there was no way she could finish all of that schoolwork, but she was determined to go anyway. Sneaking out was her only option; however, there were 3 minor roadblocks: Nancy, the older, smelly, nosy neighbour; Josie, the jealous sister; and Sam, the very annoying pizza delivery guy! She knew Sam would be a pushover as she could just promise him a sympathy date. Nancy, the older, smelly, nosy neighbour would also be easy to distract with a couple dozen cookies. This would keep her occupied for most of the evening. The question remained: how could she get Josie, the jealous sister, NOT to rat her out? Suddenly – it came to her – bring Josie, the jealous sister, along to Jingle Ball 2009!

Lil’ Cindy waited until her parents were busy doing their taxes, and she crept into Josie’s room and told her the plan. Before long, the two sisters were dancing up a storm at Jingle Ball. Shouting and singing, they cheered for their favourite performers, like Chris Brown, Kanye West, and Akon. But when David Archuletta, the former American Idol winner, stepped on stage, Lil Cindy got so excited that she ran to the mosh pit and started thrashing her little ol’ self all over. Her friends, overpowered by the music, got so into it that they hoisted her little body right into the air, tossed her into the crowd, and Lil Cindy began crowd surfing. David Archuletta, noticing this cute young girl in the crowd, reached down to pull her onto stage. As he grabbed for her, he accidentally grasped her Ugg and pulled it right off her foot.

Despite the great fun she was having, Lil’ Cindy knew that she and Josie had to get home quickly before their parents stopped doing their taxes and realized the girls weren’t home. As she grabbed Josie’s hand and they dashed into the cold night air, Lil Cin realized that she still had no Ugg on her foot. Too late to turn back – even though she was prone to frostbite- they ran all the way home.

Back at Jingle Ball, David Archuletta jumped off the stage and began frantically searching the crowds for his beloved body surfer. Though he didn’t find her, he did find her lone Ugg, shoved under a seat. When he turned the boot over, not only did he find nasty chewing gum stuck to the sole, but also, he saw Cindyrella’s name and address stamped on the bottom, as a result of those summers spent at Camp Nockandoqua. He ran out of the stadium and hopped into his limousine, screaming, “My beloved Lil’ Cin! I’ll find you! I’ll find you!”

When his limo pulled up in front of the girls’ house, David hopped out with the boot in his hand. Jealous Josie, staring out the window, leapt up in excitement, thinking that David had come for her. Imagine her surprise when he burst open the front door, hollering, “My sweet, precious, body-surfing Lil Cin! It’s me, David Archuletta, winner of the 2009 American Idol contest, come to claim your hand and return your Ugg.”

Cindy’s parents were so busy still doing their taxes that they didn’t notice the young singer in their living room. Josie ran toward the steps, but Lil Cindy made it there first and jumped into David’s arms. However, Josie tripped and broke the Waterford crystal statue in the foyer, shattering it across the tiled floor and disturbing their parents. Josie and Cindy were promptly grounded for sneaking out and they threw David Archuletta out of the house. The moral of the story is that you should never go to Jingle Ball.

ADDING SOUNDS

To get a sound into your PP that you found on the internet, you must download to sound and then INSERT it into PowerPoint. Your sound clips should be in either the WAV or MID format. 1. First, you must have the sound file. You get sound files the same way you get pics/graphics. Internet searching will get you them. 2. Right mouse click and click “Save Target As” or Download the WAV file. 3. Once you get it onto your G drive, you can insert it into your Power Point. (Insert Sound – From File). 4. The Flashdrive is your BACKUP!!!

ADDING ANIMATIONS

You can take any of the images in your presentation and animate them -- meaning, you can make a fire truck clip art come from one side of the screen and leave out the other. That is what really brings your presentation to life. There are many different types of animations from which to choose. To animate an image, follow these steps: 1. Right click on your image and choose custom animation or click on your image and go to Slide Show from the menu bar and choose custom animation. 2. Click on Add Effect – then play around.

INSERTING PICTURES FROM A SOURCE (EX. FLASH)

1. Open to the slide to which you want to add the picture. 2. Go to the Insert menu and selecting Picture, From File. The "Insert Picture" dialog box will appear. 3. If you need to adjust the size of the image, hold down the Shift key on your keyboard and then click and drag with your mouse on one of the corners of the image in order to scale it proportionally. This will keep the image from being distorted.
