Teachers, save “Tightening the Tension in Fairy Tales” to assign it to your class.

Think of a fairy tale such as "The Three Billy Goats Gruff", "Little Red Riding Hood" or "Hansel and Gretel". What happens in the story to tighten the tension? How does the main character almost fail? How do the problems get larger and larger? Create a poster to explain tightening the tension in a fairy tale. Include a picture, the name of the fairy tale and an explanation of how the tension is tightened. Your title should be "Tightening the Tension".
