Origin

The Mission

The Final Fight
......

Or you may only write the final fight scene.

Fairy Tale - Visual Storytelling in Google Classroom

Fairy Tale - Visual Storytelling

A visual narrative (also visual storytelling) is a story told primarily through the use of visual media. The story may be told using still photography, illustration, or video, and can be enhanced with graphics, music, voice and other audio.

Picking one of the stories you read, create a presentation that illustrates the story. 
You may use the slides from Wednesday (also posted below) as a sample.

You do not need to tell the entire story, as some stories are longer than others. Use your judgment; if a story is considerably long, you only need to tell the major points in the story.
