Now that we've read some leyendas from other cultures in Spanish, it's your turn! Your task is to create a story online at [|www.storybird.com] in Spanish which contains hispanic cultural aspects to it. You may compare and contrast this story to an English version if you wish, just be ready to explain the cultural significance/moral, etc. You may also tell a story (from hispanic or American origin) from a different perspective. For example, you can tell a common American fairy tale (Cinderella for example) from fairy godmother's perspective. Just be sure to include hispanic cultural aspects. Remember our discussion on the spin-off of the American fairy tale of "The Real Story of the Three Little Pigs" told from the perspective of the wolf. You should also focus on the proper use of the preterit and imperfect tenses. When your story is ready to be published, you will read your story to the class, and we will discuss the ideas presented in your story. Don't forget how we begin and end our stories in Spanish... y color//i//n, colorado, este cuento se acabado. :) =====
