Paper #4: Write Your Own Tale

Folktales for Today?

PAPER #4: Write your own tale! DUE BY 2:30 PM MAY 20

• You can draw inspiration from any folktale form – magic tale, animal tale, tale of everyday life, local legend, epic
• You can parody it, elaborate on it in a modern way like Kelly Link does, undo its magic or improve its faults, whatever you like 
  
• Papers may be longer than one page
• Use modern language, settings, and situations -- what does the folktale look like in our day, when tales, if not folks, have changed enormously?
  
• Brave volunteers are encouraged to share their stories in class.
