WORDWORM ’ S MISSION

Take a read of the story on page 2 . Who is the real villain here ? Jack – the cheeky scamp that decides to burgle a castle while its owner is asleep and then murder him ? Or the giant , who , OK , did shout FEE-FI-FO-FUM at the young boy and chase him down a beanstalk in quite a threatening manner ? It ’ s all about the ‘ spin ’. Wordworm would like you to research and find your favourite fairy tale or folk story involving a giant and reimagine it from the giant ’ s perspective . If you were to choose Jack and the Beanstalk , how do you think the giant felt when he discovered Jack had been stealing his stuff ? What ’ s his version of events ? Aim for 400- 500 words and make every word count !
