Great resource for teachers and librarians
I have been looking for a great resource for school teachers and librarians teaching folklore and fairy tales to students. I think I finally found it. While much of the information in this book is not new, it has been conveniently gathered from several sources to help teachers find the information they need when teaching units in this area of their curriculum.

May have some value as a bibliography
This long book summarizes folktale scholarship and provides an annotated bibliography of books and films (both children's and adult) based on folktales.

This review is from: New Tales for Old: Folktales As Literary Fictions for Young Adults (Paperback)
I have been looking for a great resource for school teachers and librarians teaching folklore and fairy tales to students. I think I finally found it. While much of the information in this book is not new, it has been conveniently gathered from several sources to help teachers find the information they need when teaching units in this area of their curriculum. Fairy tales offer many avenues of study in the classroom and this book will simplify writing lesson plans. Ways to think about the tales are presented as well as interpretations to use for different applications.For anyone else who is interested in folklore, this is a wonderful resource for jumping off your studies. I learned new things and remembered other things I had forgotten! |
