Pourquoi

Concerns over Folk Literature  “unacceptable literature for children” Children are incapable of understanding the differences between real and fantasy worlds. Children should not escape the real world. Tales cause haunting, disabling, and pathological fears.  C. S Lewis insists otherwise: Fantasy world is more orderly than the real world.

Objectives: 1.Compare fantasy elements with realistic elements. 2.Recognize themes. 3.Observe justice systems that reward “good” over “evil.” Animal characters use “trickery,” allowing children to analyze and compare the tricksters’ motivations and cleverness. Objectives: 1.Recognize story grammars. 2.Note language differences as observed in literature. 3.Analyze character motivations.
