Storytelling. The Role of Fairy Tales and Folk Stories in Children’s Upbringing

Fairy tales and their role in the upbringing

We will discuss the role of stories for children nowadays and in the past.

I thought to ask each student to present to the class about a Polish classic story of their choice, also to enlighten me on them. I am sure there are many excellent ones.

Also, I would suggest they write a tale themselves, a challenging assignment they can do narrative/illustrations for. It would be so interesting for me to see what they could produce. I also think it good experience for their careers in classrooms to have done this in another language useful for their students.

I hope you agree this could be a good balance of primary and secondary sources and materials!
