A Much-Needed Antidote to Current Teaching
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Students of children's literature learn about "good stories" without being taught that this construct is actually a description of European traditional forms. To judge the narrative forms of other groups (Asian, Latino, African-American, or Indian) by this yardstick is unfair and absurd. CHAMELEON READERS presents separate chapters on each narrative style, with fascinating examples from research and suggestions for further investigation. It is useful both for teachers who have classrooms full of children from widely varying backgrounds, and for students of children's literature. It may change the way you listen to someone tell a story.
