What do YOU know? When was Walt Disney born? Why do you think
he created a theme park? What are some of his stories? Who are some
of the characters? What is the difference between Disney World and
Disney Land? If you could be any Disney character, who would you be
and why?
Mission Students will divide up into groups of four to create
their own fantasy story. Each student will have a role in creating
their groups short story. The group will work together to create a
story with a plot and fictional characters of any type. Students
should use their creativity and imagination and make this story one
of their own!
