With class 1FL we decided to customize our activity by making it apair work; each pair of students thought of a story where the “badguy” behaved in a particular way and looked for a possible reasonbehind their behaviour. In some instances, students even thoughtup alternative plots for their stories, which were mainly taken fromfairy tales or Disney films.
Mine was only the task to collate, correct and edit the documents,as well as publishing it on the online platforms.

...and they called me the Evil Queenby Camilla and Tiziana
Once upon a time in a magic kingdom I was the Queen and I lived withthe King and the King's daughter. The King's daughter was calledSnowwhite, she was younger and more beautiful than me. I was veryenvious of her because I wanted to be the most beautiful woman in thekingdom. For this reason , Snowwhite and me could never be close, eventhough I appeared to be always kind and generous. My heart was full ofhate, so I decided she had to die.
I called the hunter and charged him to bring the girl to the wood and killher, so I could finally live my life in the kingdom as the most beautifulwoman.
The day arrived.
The hunter brought Snowwhite to the wood and I waited for him at thecastle.I told him that he had to take her heart to me as a proof that Snowwhitehad died. I thought about how life would have been without Snowwhite, Iwould been the indisputed Queen of beauty, me and the King couldfinally live in peace.
The hunter brought the heart to me after a few hours and I realized thatit was not Snowwhite's heart, it was the heart of a deer.
I said to him: “Where is Snowwhite's heart?” He answered: “I'm sorry, my Queen, but the girl hit me and then she ranaway...”“You're useless!” I screamed. “I will look for Snowwhite myself withoutany help. Now go away.”
I asked my magic mirror where Snowhite lived, he told me to go to thewood to the dwarfs' house. I made myself appear as a poor old woman,and then I went to the wood. I had a poisoned apple to try and killSnowwhite.
I saw Snowwhite in the house, and I knocked. She was beautiful as everand I got very angry. I talked to her and finally gave her the apple.Snowwhite ate the apple and immediatly fell on the floor.
I was happy and I screamed “Now I am the most beautiful!”
I went back to the Palace. My life was beautiful without Snowwhite, butone day I discovered that she was still alive and that she lived with aprince. But I didn't care at all . Some time after that I saw the king withanother woman... my heart broke.
I decided to leave the Kingdom. I didn't know where to go , becausenobody in my life had ever loved me . In my life I had always hatedeveryone and now I was feeling lost and alone for the first time.
Buddy, the Incredible
by Giuseppe, Alida and Aziz
My name's Buddy and I wanted to be a Superhero, or a “Super”, aseveryone calls them: the ones with superpowers.I had always looked up to Mr. Incredible: he was my hero. I had alwayswanted to become like him. I don't have any powers though, and he hadalways rejected me when I had asked him if I could become his sidekick.
So I decided to make myself powerful. I studied really hard to createsomething that could help me in my plan. My first creation was a pair ofrocket boots but they weren't enough. Mr. Incredible sent me away onceagain: that was really frustrating. “I work alone”, he told me.
I worked really hard but it was useless. That was the last time I ever triedto become Mr. Incredible's sidekick. From that day, I started to hateSupers and everything related to them. Why should they be the only onesto have such powers? Wouldn't everything be better if everyone had thesepowers? No one would be special anymore. When everyone's super, noone will be.
I continued studying as hard as I could and I became an inventor. I usedmy skill to become a highly successful and wealthy weapons designerand arms dealer. But no matter how rich and powerful I became, I neverforgot Mr. Incredible.
Using my best inventions to simulate super powers, I took on thecostumed identity of “Syndrome” and set up Operation Kronos, aimed ateliminating other Supers, and then portraying myself as their successor.I deceived countless Supers to fight my own Omnirobot with the intentionof perfecting it. Even Mr. Incredible couldn't beat it. So I sent my robot toMetroville and after scaring everyone I defeated it myself, proclaimingmyself a Super.
15 years later, here I am. I became the President and the most famousSuper of Metroville. I made my inventions available to the population andnow everyone is a Super.
Troubles of a Captain
by Francesca B. and Giulia C.
Once upon a time there were two children :Peter and Johnny. They lived inLondon with their parents and Ed,their dog. They were a poor family, but oneday, they won a huge sum of money at a lottery.
At first they didn't know how to spend their money but after much thought theydecided to travel and they took a plane. They left their dog at home to guard thehouse.
They then took a flight to Holland and they were very excited and nervousbecause it was their first trip . Their luggage was very heavy. Unfortunally therewas a storm and the plane crashed. While the pilots were trying to change the course and save the plane, theypassed over an island called Neverland. Nobody but the children,who believed inmagic, could see this island because it was covered by an invisible magneticfield. For this this reason, the magnetic field drew Peter and Johnny onto theisland . Only children lived here.
Peter was very happy to stay there with no rules, Johnny instead wanted to goback home to their parents.
Peter said to him: ”Look how beautiful this place is! We can be free and we cando everything we want, why don't you like it ?” “I just want to go home !” answered Johnny.“But why?” “Because I want to grow up with our parents.” “But I don't want to grow up. I want to be a child forever!”
So the brothers quarrelled heavily. Johnny was furious, and Peter too, so theyfought... and Peter cut his brother's hand, then threw it in the sea where acrocodile ate it. Johnny mounted a hook in place of his hand, and they started tohate each other.
After the quarrell, the two brothers went their separate ways: Peter went toexplore the island to make new friends and Johnny decided to build a ship toreturn home.
During his walk he met a lot of children, who had arrived in Neverland in thesame way as him, called “the Lost Children”. He decided to continue his walkand he arrived in front of a high waterfall. It was so big and the water wascrystal clear. Many little lights flew over the waters: they were fairies!
He was particularly struck by the charm of one of them. And so he went closerto her. Her name was Tinkerbell, she was smaller than other faries, she hadblond hair and she was wearing a glittery green dress. They spent a lot of timetogether and they became inseparable.One day, Peter felt the need of exploring the world, to find new children and totake them to Neverland. Therefore he asked for a little bit of Tinkerbell's powers.These powers made him a child forever and transformed him into a kind of elf.
So Peter flew out of the magnetic field and decided to begin his search. He foundthe way home and when he arrived at home he found a new family in his house:the Darling family, father, mother and three children: Wendy, John and Michael.
At the same time, Johnny found a group of shipwrecked pirates and theybecame part of his crew: Johnny was the captain, and took the name of CaptainHook.
Captain Hook and his crew build a pirate ship to fulfil his biggest wish; goinghome . He was very proud ,satisfied and happy of his plan. After a lot of work,Capitan Hook realized that for his brother going home was easier thanks toTinkerbell's powers and this made him grumpier to his crew. So he decided tokidnap Tinkerbell to use her powers.
In the meantime, Peter and his new friend were going back to Neverland. Whenthey arrived, the Lost Children told Peter that Capitan Hook had kidnappedTinkerbell. At once, Peter and his group, composed by Wendy, John, Michaeland the Lost Children, ran to Captain Hook's ship to rescue Tinkerbell.
When Peter arrived on the ship he told Hook:” Why did you do that... we'rebrothers!”“Are we?” Hook answered. “You cut off my hand and left me alone on this island!That's not how brothers behave!” “It's all in the past,” countered Peter. “No, for me this is very important still. I couldn't fulfil my dream to go home, andit's all your fault! We’ll never see our parents again!” said Captain Hookangrily.“ I’m really sorry but I didn’t know that this was so important foryou…” replied the awfully sorry Peter.“Yes, yes, they were very important to me. Our parents preferred youbecause you were the perfect son, and now even here you have a lot offriends, you can fly and you're a leader while I’m nothing, I am goodfor nothing and all of this is nothing.”
This said poor capitan Hook before throwing himself into the ocean.
Beware of Little Children
by Matilde V and Giulia B
Once upon a time, there was a lodge in a wood. The wood was my home and I
lived there.
One day I heard some steps and I quickly hid behind a tree. I saw a little child
that was walking on the path. She had a showy red hood and a punnet with a
slice of cake and some fruit. She was a zany child.
Suddently I jumped out and I asked her where was she going. She replied telling
me she was going to her grandma’s house to bring her some lunch; I asked her
what pathway she would take too, with the aim of arriving at the house before
her.
I left her going her way while I ran to her grandmother’s house. When I arrived, I
found Grandma under the duvet; I took her clothes and I wore them. Then I ate
the old woman and I took her place in the bed.
I waited for the arrival of the child. I was still hungry and therefore I ate her too.
There was a hunter near there that heard the shouting, he shot me, then took a
pair of scissors and cut my belly. Little Red Riding Hood and her grandma left
my tummy alive and kicking.
Into the mouth of the wolf
by Tania and Sofia
Once upon a time there was a dear little girl and she was called “Little RedRiding Hood” because she always wore a red velvet cap.
One day her mum said to her : “Come, Little Red Riding Hood, bring this apron,here is a piece of cake and a bottle of wine; take them to your grandmotherbecause she's sick.” Her mum told Little Red Riding Hood: ”When you walk onthe path, you must walk nicely and quietly, and don't break the bottle of wine.”
I'm the wolf and I live in the wood. One day I met Little Red Riding Hood. Shewas so pretty and cute. I approached her.
I said: “Good day, Little Red Riding Hood.”“Good morning,” she answered.“Where are you going?”“I'm going to my grandmother's house.”“What have you got in your apron?” “Cake and wine.” “Where does your grandmother live?” “A good quarter of a league farther on in the wood.”
We walked the path together. The path was beautiful and colourful: there wereflowers, animals, a lot of trees and butterflies.
I thought: “Wow! What a tender young creature! She will be better to eat thanthe old woman. I'm so hungry.”
I said: “See, Little Red Riding Hood, how pretty the flowers are over there.” The child stopped to look at the flowers and I went into her grandmother'shouse.
The grandmother was lying down on the bed. I was starved and ate her. She wasso good. When Little Red Riding Hood came in, I ate her too.
But suddenly, the hunter came into grandmother's house, opened my belly andsaved the grandmother and Little Red Riding Hood.
They must have done something while I was asleep, because when I woke up Ifelt very heavy
I felt sick to death.

The place where nobody wants to go, the place wherea horrible creature lives, who eats everybody who tries to enter the swamp, butthis time the story went differently. This time the ogre, called Shrek, was bothangry and scared, because he only wanted to live in peace. So Shrek decided togo to Lord Farquaad to ask if he can remove all fairy creatures from his swamp.
Meanwhile at Lord Farquaad's castle a strange guest arrived: the Fairy Mirror.His job was to introduce single, marriageable princesses as in a reality show, soLord Farquaad chose his future Queen, she was the princeeeeeeess Fiona!
Lord Farquaad announced a tournament whose winner could go and saveprincess Fiona, so many knights arrived to the castle to offer to save her. Astrange creature arrived to the castle too... Shrek, of course!
Lord Farquaad said: “Who are you, horrible creature?”Shrek replied: “I came here to take back my swamp, and you are so small...”Lord Farquaad answered: “Hey, hey, hey! I am not so small, okay? And youdidin't answer my question!”Shrek said: “My name is Shrek and I want my swamp back, NOW!!”Lord Farquaad replied “Great, I'll give you your swamp if you save my beatifulprincess Fiona who is imprisoned in a cell in the tower of a castle on a volcano,and to protect the princess there is a terrible dragon that incinerates everyonewho tries to go there!”Shrek said: “Pff! What a breeze.”Lord Farquaad added: “But first, you have to defeat all these knights who arefighting to save the princess! Fight!”
Shrek defeated all the knights and left to search the castle with Donkey. Duringthe trip Shrek and Donkey learned a lot of things about each other.Lord Farquaad was waiting the the return of “his knights” and meanwhile hespoke to the Fairy Mirror to pass the time.
At the return of Shrek and Donkey he picked up princess Fiona and took her tothe castle to celebrate the wedding, Shrek decided to save the princess from thathorrible dwarf and headed to the castle.

He finallymanaged to find it, but a fairy, Tinker Bell, prevented him and called some otherfairies to help her. Captain Hook, helped by his crew, trapped the fairies andstole the treasure.
The map found in the treasure, guided him to a rock where there was atrapdoor. The parchment said that, to open the door, he would need to get somespecial dobloons from three treasures that were hidden on the island. When hebegan to look for treasure, he met Peter Pan, a Lost Kid, that, angry for the theftof Tinker Bell's treasure, wanted it back.
“Captain Hook, I want Tinker Bell's treasure back! This is my island! Go away!”
