The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs

Writing a story from another perspective When you read the original story of the 3 Little Pigs, the wolf appears to be a nasty character and the pigs quite loveable. However, now you’ve heard the wolf’s account of the same story, you almost feel sorry for him and he no longer appears to be the baddie. The wolf didn’t deny the houses being blown down, his explanation is that it was an accident.

Structuring Your Time Effectively Choose your fairytale Decide how you want to change your characters Think about how the story would change if the goodies were baddies and the baddies were goodies.
