Fairy Tale Journeys
by Cassie
Follow along on this journey through folk tales from around the world. I began this journey for my elementary literature class in my Charlotte Mason co-op so we could fit more stories into our year. These stories are for everyone, so I hope you will travel with us! As you listen, pay attention to the things you notice. Ask yourself "I wonder" type questions. Think about what the stories remind you of. Fairy tales are a key building block of story, along with Bible stories, myths, fables, and legends - so you are sure to be reminded of all kinds of stories, including literature. Cassie
