**The Princess Bride and Parody**
Here is a recap of everything we covered in class (so far).


 * Parody** - A composition imitating another, usually in a humorous way. A spoof.

Now try to think of some examples of parodies:
 * Step1**

Make a list of as many elements and examples of fairy tales that you can think of.
 * Step2**

Review the comparison chart (take notes in your notebook or print it out) .
 * Step3**

Watch these two clips. Robin Hood is the more traditional approach of the fairy tale/folklore/good guy vs. bad guy The Princess Bride clip is parodying many of the elements of the fairy tale / good guy vs. bad guy fight.
 * Step4**

Complete the comparison chart.
 * Step5**

Make a page in your //Reading Log// titled: “Princess Parody” and begin collecting examples of fairy tale elements found in //The Princess Bride//.
 * HOMEWORK:**

Think of a fairy tale to parody and bring your ideas on Monday.
