Here are some questions to consider: How would you make your tale into a TV show/movie/ad, etc. that would be successful today? What actors would you cast? What costumes would you have characters wear? Who would be the protagonists/antagonists? Do you think the story line of your tale would “sell”? Why or why not? What products could you imagine your fairy tale helping to sell? What ads/movies/TV shows have you seen that remind you of your tale? Are there any ‘real-life’ stories that remind you of your tale? Answer the above questions to complete this task.

//<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Reaction piece #5 -- Watch the video for the fairy tale "The Ugly Duckling". // //<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">* This story was written in 1843. In your opinion, is the message that has been constructed as effective today as it was at the time? If it is still relevant, why do you think it has stood the test of time? If not, how should it be changed to reflect current social values? //
