Rapunzel Adaptation

On this activity we were asked to get one orginial version  of a  fairy tale. We will have to read it  and then make our own adaptation from the story as if we were telling the story to infant education children .

Who are between 0-6 years old.

Firstly with the same structure of the main story , and later changing the story end.

Also we will have to explain which criteria we made for choosing this tale and not other ones and also  which things we have done to addapt the tale.

Firstable , I would like  to say that this was a class group activity and I did it with :

- Lucía Castro

- Celia Coronado

Criterias we based on for choosing this tale:

We chose to adapt this story because we thought that children could follow it easily with no difficulties , some of them could even know the story or other version of the story. 

And if they haven´t heared it before , they will also enjoy it  , because they could identify themselves  with the characters of the story  ; that are kind of characters that commonly appears in children tales and most children like them .

- Aspects that we took into account to make our adaptation

We decided to short the story a little bit and removed some unimportant details , because we thought that it was very long and with too many stuff that can confuse children .

We also made some vocabulary and grammar structures changes , we thought that it was so difficult for children from this age so we decided to simplified and use more basic language .

We have include dialoges between characters to make the story more interesting to children and also more undestandable . 

Also we have include some repetitions and similar structures .

For making the story end we thought to make the usual kind of ends that children enjoy and  commonly have heard in other tales from this kind and maybe in others versions from this story .

So right know i´m going to include hear also our Story adaptation but also with the end that we have invented . 

Rapunzel

Many years ago there were a Queen and a King who wanted to have a baby.

They had a small window at the back of their house , where they could see a garden  with beautiful flowers and plants.

It also had a big wall ,where nobody could go , because an evil witch was living there.

One day the queen was looking at the window to see the garden ,when she saw a bed with beautiful roses on it.

Suddenly, the queen felt ill and she told the king he should go to the garden and get one of the roses for her. The queen was going to eat the rose to feel better, so he took the rose and gave it to her wife.

Next day in the afternoon, the man went again to the garden, but Guess what, the witch saw him and got furious:

• Witch: ¿Why did you steal my rose? You must be punished for it.
• King: I'm sorry, please don't be angry with me, I did it because my wife is terribly ill and she needs to eat it.

• Witch: Ok, I will let you get all the roses you need for your wife , but when the princess is born , you must give me the baby .
• 
  

The king was heartbroken , he didn't want to give his baby to the evil witch , but he had no choice.

When the princess was born , she was given to the witch , who called her Rapunzel .

Rapunzel grew up as the most beautiful girl. At the time she was twelve years old, the witch locked her in a tower in the middle of the forest.

The tower didn't have any stairs or doors, but it had a small window.

When the witch wanted to get into the tower, she shouted to the princess:

• Witch:  Rapunzel, Rapunzel ,Let your hair down for me .

Rapunzel had extremely beautiful blond long hair and every time she heard voice of the witch, she put her hair down and let the witch climb up to the tower.

One day, a prince was riding his horse through the forest , when suddenly he saw Rapunzel’s tower .

Then, he heard Rapunzel singing and fell in love with her voice.

He wanted to climb the tower to see Rapunzel, but he didn´t know how.

One day, the Prince saw the Witch climbing up Rapunzel's tower , so he learned how to get to Rapunzel.

When the night came, the prince returned to the tower and shouted:

• Prince:  Rapunzel, Rapunzel. Let your hair down for me.

Rapunzel, let her hair down and the prince climbed up the tower.

When Rapunzel first saw the Prince, she was scared of him, but the prince reached her patiently and gently, and the princess finally felt in love with him.

They  decided to escape from the tower and get married.

But when they were trying to escape from the tower, the witch appeared, she was very angry and tried to kill the prince.

Just in the right moment, Rapunzel took the Prince sword and killed the Witch.

Now that the evil witch was gone, Rapunzel and the Prince could escape from the tower and lived happily ever after.
