Assignment 1 (30 points max)
Questions (10 points each)
There are a total of 5 questions, but you only have to answer 3 of them to get 30 points total. Please try to get at least 100 words in for each answer. This is, after all, a writing class.
1) Why do you think a fairy tale setting is important in the story?
2) What do you suppose is the mystery behind Faylinn Castle? Who lives there? Why do people talk about the castle so much?
3) If you were to start writing your fairy tale, where would it take place? What would it look like? How important would the setting be to the story? (Keep this question in mind for the project at the end of the term).
4) Do you think names have the power of giving your setting part of its magic? If so, why? What would you name your setting and why do you think the name fits?
5) How much of a setting do you think is important in a fairy tale? Would it just include the local village/castle/town, or should it also include the neighboring kingdoms? Why?

Extra Credit 1 (30 points max)
Choose ONE(1) of the following options for extra credit:
A) Describe: What does Faylinn look like? Describe the castle and the area surrounding Faylinn (whether it has a moat, or it’s up a glass hill, etc.). What are the villagers like? Any neighboring monsters? Ruling monarchs? Mischievous witches and warlocks? Be creative, no boundaries! (minimum 300 words)
B) Create: You are a travelling bard and you make your way to the town near Faylinn. Something unexpected has happened. Tell your story in any way you see fit as a bard (a song, a poem, a story, etc.).
C) Portray: Draw what you think Faylinn castle looks like. What surrounds the castle (villages, beasts, forests, etc.)? The drawing must be your own original work!
D) Real Estate: You are a Silvermist real estate agent (let’s pretend those exist for argument’s sake). Create an ad graphic for a house in the village near Faylinn. How much does the house cost? Why should people buy it?
For all images, please upload them to an image server (Photobucket, Flickr, ImageShack, etc.) and send the link in the email. I do not take attachments!
