Warm-up: more common errors in English

Brainstorming of the common elements of fairytales to define the genre. Exploration of the genre of fractured fairytales and the ways in which the tales can be fractured, through a focus on The True Story of the Three Little Pigs and the postmodern version of The Little Red Hen in The Stinky Cheeseman. In pairs, students read fractured versions of different tales and presented summarised versions of them to the group.

For homework students completed grammar exercises on word formation and error correction.
