Swinnerton's Class
St. Alphonsus
ECS
After reading
numerous fiction and non-fiction materials about the medieval times, each
student tried their hand at composing their own "castle"
based story.
First, we brainstormed who the characters had
been or could be based upon the stories that we read. We came up with the
following list
Characters- Who could be in our stories?
|
Monster |
Princess |
Mermaids |
Queen |
|
Kids |
Knight |
King |
Birds |
|
Beast |
Prince |
Fairy |
Dragons |
|
Us |
Giant |
Witch |
Vampire |
Then, we
brainstormed possible settings for our stories. Again, the list was quite
detailed.
Setting- Where could our story take place?
| In a Castle |
In a dungeon |
A castle very far away |
A castle at the bottom of a city |
| A new castle outside of an old castle |
In the forest |
A castle in the sky |
A castle in a dream |
| A tooth fairy castle |
A castle under the ocean |
On a hill |
In the jungle |
| A castle in a volcano |
In a
Jell-O food castle |
In a castle next to your house |
A castle made of flowers |
| A brick castle |
A castle across the street from your house |
A castle fort in your tree |
A castle in a parade that is moving on a
truck |
| In a castle made of apple |
A castle made of candy |
In a castle that has lots of bats |
A castle made of snow |
| A toy castle |
An Easter egg castle |
In a tower in a castle |
In an enchanted castle |
Once each student
started writing, the above elements primarily disappeared, but we were left with
some interesting products anyways.

Rump Roast

Once upon a time, there was a prince whose name was Prince Eric. There
was also a Princess whose name was Make-A-Mess, and a witch named Hocus
Pocus.
The witch was very mean and she banished Make-A-Mess to an ice cold
coffin in the forest. Make-A-Mess lived there in the coffin for many years,
and she was very bored.
One day, Prince Eric was out riding on his white horse. He found tracks
in the forest. They were Princess tracks! He looked down and saw a princess
shoe and a witch shoe. He tried to cut down the forest so he could find the
princess, but the witch found him and banished him back where he came from.
The King and Queen were missing their daughter. She had been kidnapped by
an evil witch! One day, the king saw the witch. He sent soldiers to follow
her wherever she went. The witch went to the forest to see the coffin. The
soldiers and Prince Eric followed her into the forest. The soldier and the
horses and the Prince found Make-A-Mess in her ice cold coffin. Prince Eric
kissed the princess to wake her up and then took her back to the castle.

Sleepy Dragon
By
Eric
Once upon a time, a dragon came to the castle. The castle was red and it
had a triangle on top, and a rectangle, and a square, and a small square,
and a door.
The dragon wanted to go in the castle, so he tried to go in the door. The
door was too small and the dragon was too big. The dragon used his fire and
burned the castle down.
Then he was tired, so he went home to his house and went to sleep.

The Chocolate Land
By
Fiona
A Prince and a Princess lived together in a castle. The castle was made
out of red, blue, pink, and green bricks. The Prince and Princess got
married.
At the wedding, an evil witch came and put a spell on the castle. It was
a spell to make them hate each other. The spell would only last until the
end of tomorrow.
After the spell ended and they stopped hating each other, the Prince and
Princess got married again, and they were so nice they invited the witch to
be a flower girl.
That wedding was so nice, they decided to get married another time. When
they had been married for three, they had a baby daughter named Cinderella.
Then baby Cinderella fell in love with a baby boy and the baby boy fell in
love with Cinderella. Cinderella drank magic milk from her bottle and the
boy drank magic water from his bottle. The magic made them grow up really
fast like teenagers.
They were really bad teenagers and they had a snowball fight. Cinderella
got hurt and she had to go to the hospital to get stitches. Cinderella loved
the boy anyway and they got married.
His parents died and her parents died- everyone in the world died except
Cinderella and the boy. So, Cinderella and the boy ruled the world and
turned everything to chocolate, candy, and brownies.
Mmm, Mmm, Mmm!

The King and the Prince
By
Dustin
One day, there was a King named Dustin and a Prince named Erick. They
lived in a castle at the Kingdom.
When it was raining, a dragon and a little baby dragon came to the
castle. The King was nice to the big dragon and the Prince was nice to the
little dragon. They were all friends.
Then a giant came and destroyed the castle. The dragons saved the King
and the Prince, because they flew away on the dragons. They flew to Calgary.
They got jobs in Calgary running with horses. Even the dragons a little
bit helped them. When the King had lots of money from his job, he built a
little house for the little dragon and a big house for the big dragon and a
new castle for him and Erick.
They all were happy in Calgary because there were no giants.

Why The Princess Did Not Come to the Ball
By
Amethyst
Once upon a time, there was a queen. She asked the princess to sleep in
the tallest tower of the castle. The princess fell asleep.
In the ballroom of the castle, a wizard came and made a party. He said
"You’ve got four chances to change", to a mean wolf that was at the party.
The wolf did nothing and went home.
Then, the wizard made a song to the sky. The song was so beautiful that
creatures from all around the Kingdom came to hear it. A mermaid even came
who swam in the moat around the castle where there was lots of water.
The princess heard the beautiful song and woke up. A prince came in the
tallest tower and gave her a kiss. They were in love.
The prince and princess got married. The mermaid swam under the water at
the wedding at February.
The prince and princess ate some supper and shut the curtain so the sun
wouldn’t get in their eyes. They lived happily ever after.
