Writing | Narrative Rewrite

To rewrite a narrative, people often use ideas and features from an original text to create a new story that can fit with the events in another story.

The following questions are used to give the writer an idea of what they are rewriting. The questions are: 'who would the character meet the fox/owl/snake?', 'what would the fox/owl/snake say?', and 'what is the Gruffalo's favorite food including the fox/owl/snake?'.

The mouse was changed into a beetle because they are both prey and are similar characters. The greeting has been changed to "What will it be? Come have lunch high up in my tree". The Gruffalo's favorite food has been changed to "owl creme" because it rhymes with 'stream'.

Rewriting a narrative helps the reader engage in creative thinking and being able to rewrite a story that makes sense and can flow with an original text.
