Since I want to teach higher elementary school aged children, the brothers grimm versions of classic disney stories could be used in a classroom. I found a brothers grimm story I really liked that was pretty age appropriate that would be good to use in a classroom because it has a good moral and message.

I love the idea of doing a unit on the 'witches' of stories. I have recently become extremely obsessed with the musical Wicked. I would love to incorperate that into a unit. Give students a villian from a story and have them write what happened to them to make them 'evil' or have them tell a story about how the story was twisted to make them look like the bad one.

you could use as an example for how to start writing, the lyrics talk about how all she does is try to do good deeds and they keep being twisted. Good way to start students immaginations flowing.
