<font color=pink>We're studying Children's lit in english right now, and for our last projecto f the year we're to compose a 12-20 page childrens book complete with illustrations. Heres our choices:

<font color=white>1. Re-tell a famous fairy tale-keeping same focal characters and events, but allowed to change setting(thus leading to new outcomes and circumstances) and narration(thus changing the implications of the story and the viewpoint and conclusions from which the story is told). Must be convincing and logical [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>
I'm considering this option, maybe do Cinderella Matrix style..dunno if i can make that 'convincing' and 'logical' though [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

<font color=white>2. Write a story from scratch-focus on what it is to be a child and what would attract a child(within REASON). Should have a purpose. To get a good grade, can't be vacuous [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] </font>
Thats a thumbs down for me. Too much thought involved [img]tongue.gif[/img]

<font color=white>3. Re-write one of the works we have studied this year as a children's story. Good children's lit deals with reality of issues we face on a daily basis...Rewrite this novel to make it accessible to a young person.</font>

#3 is the main one im considering. I was thinking maybe re-writing Jane Eyre with mythical creatures..ie Jane can be a pixie or a faerie(something innocent), the Reeds can be dragons, Helen can be a pegasus(kinda like an angel), and Rochester probably a unicorn or some other powerful creature.

Your input and ideas would be greatly appreciated on this! Thanks [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>
