The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.

Mark Twain

ENGLISH
Storytelling with a Twist! 📖🌀

Let's shake things up and explore different narrative perspectives!

Your Mission:

  1. Choose a familiar story or event (it could be a fairy tale, a historical event, or even something that happened to you).

  2. Now, retell the story from a different point of view.

    • For example, if you choose Little Red Riding Hood, you could tell the story from the wolf's perspective, or from the perspective of a tree in the forest.

  3. Write a short story or a few paragraphs, focusing on how the different perspective changes the narrative.

Bonus Challenges:

  • Use different voices and tones to reflect the unique perspective of your chosen narrator.

  • Explore how the change in perspective affects the reader's understanding and sympathy for the characters.

  • Share your stories on social media using #EdExpress!

This activity encourages creativity, critical thinking, and empathy as you step into the shoes of different characters and explore alternative perspectives.
