I'm also not real sure about using faeries, pixies, and other fantasy creatures. Once again, this depends on the age group, but most young children don't even know what these creatures are.

I think you're mistaken about this . Enid Blyton books are littered with pixies, brownies, imps, and so on (or at least I think they still are after the recent rash of politically correcticizing [img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img] ). They may not know their D&D stats but they have the general gist! [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

I agree with Cerek though about having a moral - that's very important, though there's not need to hit them over the head with it . If you redid an existing fairy tale or adult literature there would probably already be a moral that you could use or adapt.

Sounds like a fun assignment! Much more interesting than the 'write the closing argument for the defence/prosecution for Macbeth' we had to do in Senior English
