Go Lori! I really enjoyed your lesson this morning. What an engaging learning experience you shared with us. I agree, we have so many students who are not familiar with fairytales. Thanks for reminding us of their meaning.
This is just a side note - revisiting fairytales as an adult has been a much different experience. In essence, some are not not what I originally thought. Did you know that "Ring Around the Rosie" was written in reference to the Black Death?
On a lighter side. Thanks Don for sharing the great blog!
I wonder how much magic has been drained out of the world since Cable TV has replaced Fairy Tales as the primary source of children's imaginary life.
