Into the Woods at Ford's TheatreAs the result of the curse of a once-beautiful witch, a baker and his wife are childless. Three days before the rise of a blue moon, they venture into the forest to find the ingredients that will reverse the spell and restore the witch's beauty: a milk-white cow, hair as yellow as corn, a blood-red cape, and a slipper of gold. During their journey, they meet Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Jack, each one on a quest to fulfill a wish. |
This is on Day 2 but you will watch the movie and complete this activity on Day 3 - Thursday, May 16th.
Put ‘Happily Ever After’ on trial!
Your teacher will provide you with an overview of the story from Into the Woods. This will give you background information on the 'happily ever after' found in many children's tales. From there your group will be split in half.
One half will prepare an argument for the benefits of the traditional fairy tale form, and the other half will prepare an argument against the happily ever after format. When both groups are ready, they will sit on opposite sides of the room with the teacher in the middle as the ‘chair’. Each group will nominate one person to speak for a minute (it is a good idea to set an alarm so that there is a clear signal to stop talking). Once both arguments have been introduced; other members of each group will be invited to speak for a minute. At the end, have a vote: should we throw out ‘happily ever after’ for good?
