    Traditional Literature - chapter 6
    Chapter 6- Traditional Literature ppt.

    1.  Parsons (2004, p. 136) said, “fairy tales are powerful cultural agents that tell us how to be.”  Who is the literary character or biographer from either fiction or non-fiction that “tells you how to be?”

     

    2.  From reading your dialogue responses, it is clear that some of you favor censorship in regard to distasteful, violent fairy tales. Is censorship a viable option in today’s schools in order to protect children from gender stereotypes embedded in children’s literature texts?  How does your Christian world view impact your stance in the selection of texts that you will promote and texts that you will discourage or ignore in your classroom?
