Fairy Tale Definition

Step One:
In a "daily assignment" page labeled /FairyTaleDefined (feel free to copy and paste into your page) give me a short but concise paragraph of what you understand is the definition of a fairy tale.

**Separate with a four dashed line**

Step Two:
Do some research on the web and find some other definitions. I will be asking you to choose between directly quoting from the website or paraphrasing what the site says. Organize these bits of information as neatly as possible (using lists, headers, etc.).

Also, choose the sites wisely. Know the difference between a non-academic page to an academically acceptable page.

Step Three:
Now that you have read through about 4-5 other definitions, write a final definition in one concise sentence. Use commas, colons or semicolons to define the fairy tale.

Completion of Recast and beginning of Project 2

We will start the day with any last minute editing of your /RecastReflection. I will begin by answering any various questions you may have and I will begin grading the project as a whole (parts 1-4) and sending e-mails individually for confirmation. Make sure the e-mail you have given me on your personal page is current and usable.

The next part of class will begin an adventure into the Fairy Tale and it's definition.
