What is a fairytale? Give a few key words.

Which fairytales do

A fairytale is a folktale that uses magic and fantasy, it starts with the sentence: 'once upon a time' and always takes place in a unknown land and time. Most of the time they 'live happily ever after'.

Fairy tale characters

Watch the two fragments and try to remeber as many fairytale characters as possible. You can take notes if you want. Post your answers on the next slide. 

Name fairytale characters you
could see in these videos.

Every fairytale has a few elements:

• It usually starts with: 'once upon a time'  
  
• A hero 
  
• A quest/task/desire 
  
• A lesson 
  
• A villian   
  
• A moment where all seems lost  
  
• There is an element of magic/a transformation
  

But there is more: 

• A fairytale is always fiction (land we do not know, time we do not know) 
  
• The lead character is a young adult
  
• The lead character gets help through a magical object or a sidekick
  
• the number 3 (three fairies, three tasks, three brothers) 
  

Most fairytales follow the same pattern. 

Fairy tales through the years

characteristics

Plaats & tijd worden vaag beschreven want dit zou de fantasie belemmeren.

Personages symboliseren goed of kwaad.

Zit vol met fantasie, magische elementen/ bovennatuurlijke zaken en/of bijgeloof. Dit kunnen magische wezens, mensen, dingen of dieren zijn. Magisch kan zowel positief (een elfje) als negatief (een heks) zijn. 

Taalgebruik: Het taalgebruik is eenvoudig maar dat wil niet zeggen dat sprookjes kinderachtige verhalen zijn.

Levensles: Het goede wordt beloond en het kwade bestraft.

Heeft vaak een vrolijk einde, met een boodschap of oplossing van een probleem.
