Final Post


I have learned so much about fairy tales that I did not know before now. I enjoyed stretching myself with the assignments and new ways to interpret the tales. While familiar with many fairy tales, I did enjoy reading other versions of familiar tales. In addition, I realized that I prefer the stories with a twist of sarcastic humor or female tricksters. I love that one of my classmates recognized the female characters in many fairy tales are large and in charge! I plan to use some of the fairy tales we read in my classroom for next year, child approved version of course. I am happy that I was able to relive my childhood memories through some of the fairy tales and discover the origins of some new fairy tales.
