Description

This course examines embedded ideologies in the genre of myth, legend and folktale as represented in children's and young people's literature and film, inclusive of postmodern fractured fairytales and provides an opportunity to critically reflect on them. Having analysed a range of traditional stories from various critical perspectives, the course participant will develop a range of teaching/learning strategies, implement them with students and reflect on the nature of the experience and emerging issues.
