How to plan a fairy tale yourself? For an experienced person, this will not be difficult, and to learn such work is not so difficult. Moreover, this activity is very interesting and fascinating.
What it is?
What is a plan of fiction? This is a concise retelling of what is read. It is impossible to write it separately from a fairy tale or story without starting to read it.
Who can use the plan?
How to plan a fairy tale? Read the tale in question. Determine the sequence of major events occurring in the work. Divided into semantic parts. Title each part. The title of the parts are the points in the plan.
And to whom and why do you need to know how to plan a fairy tale? First of all, literature teachers are interested in such questions. Thus, they will be able to determine how thoughtfully the student read the work. In addition, knowledge is useful to the students themselves. Having a plan before your eyes, you can easily recall the events and heroes of the tale and draw up a competent retelling in the lesson.
Planning a case study
You can practice and imagine that the task has been received: to draw up a plan for the fairy tale “The Frog Princess”.
To do this, carefully study the text of the assignment. What should be the plan? Detailed, concise, with or without quotes.
If we dwell on a detailed version, then such a plan should look as follows.
- Royal command to sons.
- A good choice of older brothers.
- A frog in brides by Ivan Tsarevich.
- The king checks the skill of daughters-in-law in baking bread.
- Are daughter-in-law able to weave carpets.
- Sons must bring their wives to a feast.
- Royal feast.
- Ivan Tsarevich burns the skin of a frog.
- Ivan Tsarevich meets an old man.
- How animals help Ivan.
- Ivan Tsarevich and Baba Yaga.
- Kashchei Oak.
- The return of Ivan Tsarevich.
That's all, drawing up a plan for the fairy tale “The Frog Princess” was not so difficult. Often students are asked to perform an analysis of the works. Do not be scared, because he also has his own scheme, that is, a strict list of what it is worth talking about in this type of work.
Development of the ability to analyze
So, we will directly consider the plan for analyzing the tale. At the very beginning, we can say what kind of fairy tale this work belongs to. They can be magical, domestic or about animals. This topic is studied in great detail in the "Tales" section of the 5th grade literature school program. Then, you should name all the main characters of the work and designate the fabulous action that can be considered the main one.
Now it is important to identify the distinguishing features of a fairy tale as a genre: the occurring number “three”, instructive utterances, the beginning - a fabulous beginning, and the logical conclusion - a happy ending. All traits are defined, the characters are described. The last thing remained: the conclusion and what kind of morality the readers should take out of the work.
In a simplified version, the plan for analyzing the tale will look like this:
- name and type;
- fairy-tale heroes;
- action to which everything is subordinate;
- fabulous features;
- fabulous lesson.
Children's works should teach the child to be good, to fight evil. And in order to accurately indicate the relevant instructive moments, it is necessary to parse a fairy tale, as they say, "on the bones." To decompose into separate components in order to skillfully use the folk wisdom contained in it. And the children reading on the school curriculum need to fight for positive marks in the literature. And if they still give the task to write an essay on the text they have read, then certainly there is no way to do without a plan. That’s why you need to know how to plan a fairy tale.
Quotations will help
The next type of work, a quotation plan for a fairy tale, is very interesting to compile. For the finished short outline, you need to select a few excerpts from the text. They must confirm what is stated in each paragraph.
The quotation plan of the tale “The Frog Princess” will look as follows.
- "The king lived in a certain kingdom-state."
- "The king thought to see his sons married."
- "The sons did as the father commanded."
- "Ivan Tsarevich launched his arrow directly into the swamp, to the frog in the paws ..."
- "The carpet is good! Yes, and we saw better, in the stable, for horses!"
- "Do not be alarmed, guests! This is my little frog in her box granted!"
- "Oh, Ivan! Why did you burn my skin? Didn't you have to take it off!"
- "Do not touch me, Ivan Tsarevich! Have pity! I will serve you!"
- "Turn around, hut, my porch is red, in front of you is a clear falcon!"
And so in the case of any other tale, you need to choose the appropriate excerpts from the text, according to the plan. The work is interesting, all the more it seems that the work is read in an abridged version.
It’s not easy to come up with a fairy tale
When students will learn how to draw up a plan for a fairy tale, you can try to give a more creative task - to compose a work yourself. Undoubtedly, this is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. Therefore, in your own creation you will need a plan for composing a fairy tale.
Why is this so necessary? The human thought is so fast that it requires very vigilant observation. You will not remember where the hero was supposed to end up, since it was not written down on time and was not included in the plan - everything, the fairy tale bunch was broken. And when something does not work out, any desire to continue what is started disappears. Children should be able to fantasize and try to compose fairy tales with traditional good characters themselves. In them, good must always be bright and all-conquering.
Planning a fairy tale
The plan of the fairy tale will not differ much from the usual. It should only be remembered that the work has a magical status, so there should be items in the work that tell about those fabulous objects and transformations that distinguish it from the rest. The plan should reveal the meaning of magic, who performs it and what role it played for the character.
Before starting work, it is necessary to understand what are the features of a fairy tale. The task of the genre in this case is: to arouse the reader’s admiration for the positive hero and to condemn the negative, thus expressing confidence in the triumph of good.
The type of conflict serves as a criterion by which fairy tales are divided into:
- heroic (the hero’s struggle with magic power);
- social class (the hero’s struggle with the injustice of the representative of the upper class - the lord, the king);
- family (narrate about the conflict in the family and are moralizing).
In terms of a fairy tale, the heroes are opposed in terms of belonging to one of the types: defenders, villains, sufferers, helpers. When compiling, items should be included that indicate the obvious fiction, magic and miracle inherent in this genre.
The story retelling plan will be different from all previous types. It should be concentrated quoting, characterization of the characters, a very detailed transfer of content. In conclusion, an opinion should be expressed about what was liked in the work, what was not liked, and why. The individual person retells the tale with his own vision of the situation, problem. That is, in this case, the narrative can be subjective.
Tale of a little girl
In this section, we will try to draw up a plan for the fairy tale "Thumbelina" to once again focus on the main stages of work when performing such tasks.
To someone who is familiar with the theory of drawing up different plans, this will not be difficult. The main thing: read the story itself. And now it’s the small thing: to recall the sequence of events taking place in a fairy tale and write them down in the form of plan points.
- The birth of a little girl from a tulip.
- Life Thumbelina in the house.
- The toad saw a wife in Thumbelina for her son.
- Thumbelina goes on a trip along the river.
- Maybug fell in love.
- Alone in the big forest.
- Cold winter is coming.
- Thumbelina lives at the Field mouse.
- Preparing for the wedding with the Mole.
- Sick Swallow.
- Thumbelina takes care of the bird.
- The girl flew away with the Swallow.
- Acquaintance with the king of elves.
- Thumbelina marries the king of elves and receives wings as a gift
Co-creation
Modern educational programs involve the integration of various fields of knowledge and subjects. Therefore, as part of homework, children often receive tasks such as: "Thumbelina." Make a picture plan of a fairy tale.
You need to take a brush, paints and an album, seat the baby, remember the fairy tale step by step. Try to draw what you just remembered. This is the first option. But there is a second. With current technology it is easy to find illustrations for any fairy tale. And Andersen's tale will not be an exception. You can use the search on the Internet, find pictures for the tale and arrange them in a certain sequence, each under its own number.
The first option is interesting because parents and children are engaged in creativity together. The child himself creates the image of the fragile Thumbelina and the nasty Mole, the ugly Toad and the stupid May Beetle. In the picture, he expresses his attitude to the fairy-tale heroes. This is very important for the development of the creative abilities of the baby.
Picture Story
The second option is also not bad. It makes the child think logically. In addition, there are a number of leading questions that you can ask while working with each picture. Answering them, the child will learn to give correctly formulated answers.
- What season is shown in the picture?
- Why can't two pictures be swapped?
- How can I tell you about the character Thumbelina, Swallows from the image?
In terms of pictures, the retelling of a fairy tale is based on reference images. Using this type of work, parents solve an important task of developing the ability to maintain consistency in the development of events, as well as developing the ability to correctly select the right words when comparing two objects, to describe their forms. The student will learn to talk about his feelings and correctly build phrases.
Complex plan
A complex plan of a fairy tale or any other work is compiled on the principle of "story in story." First, one major part is entitled, it is divided again into small segments, but of a smaller volume, which also have their own name. Such a plan has a complex numbering and should not miss a single important detail. Its accuracy will help in the future to write a good composition with the involvement of literary material.
A fairy tale is the same text that has its own characteristics. The plan for composing a fairy tale can be considered in the context of working with plain text. Just in the process you need to pay attention to giving the fairy tale the basic genre characteristics.
Conclusion
To summarize and summarize in several sentences the main points that need to be taken into account when working on a plan for a fairy tale.
The work needs to be read. If it contains words incomprehensible to you, you should find out their meaning. The theme of the fabulous text and its main idea are determined. The work is divided into semantic parts, the titles are selected to them. It is recommended that you first draft a copy, as the process of creating the plan may necessitate adjustments. Then, the intended plan must be compared with the text in order to verify the sequence of points indicated in the work, with the events reflected in the tale. Next, you should try to reproduce the work yourself according to the compiled scheme. If this succeeded, and important details were noticed, the work was a success.
Plans are completely different, it all depends on the purpose and nature of the task. They are simple and complex, can consist of only questions or just quotes. Also, they can be of a thesis nature or consist only of nominal sentences. In any case, the preparation of the plan involves reading the work and understanding its meaning.
