People forget that these tales were meant to teach something and sometime fear is a great motivator. <br /><br />MMs.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03426159534525251722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3152844693789487352.post-76118330566276621902012-07-07T16:01:05.356-04:002012-07-07T16:01:05.356-04:00Ms. M. - It is always a good idea to go back to th...Ms. M. - It is always a good idea to go back to the source material. These stories have been so watered down and some of the other German cautionary tales are even worse. Kids can handle them and a nightmare every once in a while isn't such a bad thing. Is it?Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715784900659276067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3152844693789487352.post-74116917688057814362012-07-07T15:53:51.742-04:002012-07-07T15:53:51.742-04:00Gary I so agree with your comments about Snowwhite...Gary I so agree with your comments about Snowwhite & the Huntsman. <br /><br />I just spent 4 weeks reading original versions of Fairy Tales to my ELL kids this summer. I know I heard the originals as a child cause I recognized them as I read. However, I had forgotten how cleaned up the current versions are. Ie Snow White is such a ninny! The Wicked Step-mother came 3 times and tricked her 3 times! Oh and I forgot that in Hansel & Grettle were sent to the woods to die because dad and Step-mom had no money to feed them. <br /><br />Very dark these stories are. I like the dark versions better than the current clean up versions. My students loved them too. <br /><br />MMs.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03426159534525251722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3152844693789487352.post-67420116206308901072012-06-02T20:27:47.846-04:002012-06-02T20:27:47.846-04:00Wat - I saw it last night and it was visually stun...Wat - I saw it last night and it was visually stunning but it dragged a bit.
