Module 4 Assignment 1
The purpose of this assignment is two-fold: 1) to introduce you to that body of literature included under the broad label of folktales (e.g. fairy tales, pourquoi tales, fables, legends, and myths); 2) to acquaint you with the variations of these tales. Read and fill out story sheets--see the model form below--for 3 folktales. Read a few folktales from at least three geographical regions represented in _The Riverside Anthology of Children's Literature_; then pick one tale for which you will fill out a story sheet. Make each section of the story sheet a good chunky paragraph if possible. You will follow this same procedure for each tale from 3 different geographical areas. Use college level mechanics. Do not misspell any words.
