WALT – We Are Learning To…

…write a new ending for a fairytale that we know and make it into an eBook using Keynote. Readers will be able to choose from 2 different endings when they read our eBook.

WILF – What I‘m Looking For…

… is an eBook made in Keynote, with images and text and links to give readers a choice of two endings. One ending is the traditional ending and the other is one you create.

Follow this pattern for your fairytale just like this example of The Three Little Pigs.

Step 1

Listen to the traditional story as told in The Three Little Pigs – retold by Annette Smith.

Next listen to The Three Little Pigs and the Somewhat Bad Wolf – by Mark Teague

See The Three Little Pigs.

Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes – The Three Little Pigs

Step 2

• On this Storyboard make a list of the main events in the story. Put one event in each text box. [Word version]
• Read this Example Storyboard before you begin your own.
• You can start to change the ending of the story at whatever point you like and you may create 2 new endings of your own instead of using the real ending as one of the choices if you wish.
• In the picture box sketch or list the scene and images you might put with this event.

Step 3

• Make a Keynote file.
• Draw in Keynote with the draw tools.
• Draw in KidPix, select with the hand tool and copy into Keynote.
• Search for images on the internet.

Step 4

• Create Keynote slides for each of the events in your storyboard.
• Write text in Text Boxes to tell what is happening in each slide.
• Create a Title slide with a Heading and Credits.
  • What are Credits?
    • Explain where you found the images you did not make.
    • Tell who wrote the traditional version of the fairytale.
    • List yourself as the creator of the new ending, some images and the eBook.

Step 5

• Make the links as they are described in the Storyboard Example on Slides 7, 8 and 9. [You might be putting these links on different numbered slides in your eBook.]
• Other links – On the Title slide make a Start link to get into the story.
