Folklore for Life Lessons By Tammy Kiholm Comm 1010
Open your imagination • Little Red Riding Hood • What do you see? • What characteristics does the picture in your mind have?
The Feeling • Cinderella lost her shoe, was late, and did not have time to go get it. • Imagine yourself in her position, frantic and late. • You lost a beautiful shoe, and could be spotted in rags?
Relax • Stop and explore your emotion. • Pay attention to what you are feeling. • How you can make it your adventure and your story?
Added Extras • Notice the external noise in the tale. • The main idea might be simple but, what else is happening.
Language and Style • It is fun to pretend and sometimes forget where you are. • In Peter Pan, you are a hero or pirates mate. • In Huckleberry Fin, you are feeling lazy on a hot summer day.
Morals • Jack Skellington almost ruined Christmas. • Mind your own business. • The Fisherman’s Wife ended up with nothing. • Greed • Falling in love with a Beast.
Seriously • Are these things likely to happen? • Try it and find out.
