Suitable for NSW English Syllabus K-10, the Australian English Curriculum and state-based curriculums
In this workbook students will analyse the fairytale genre from
Europe and outside Europe and the purpose and audience of fairytales. Student
will analyse narrative elements found in the fairytales, such as key ideas,
motifs, ‘the hero’s journey’, archetypal characters and situations, themes and
narrative voice. Students will explore intertextuality in fairytales and how
binary oppositions position the audience to adopt certain values and beliefs.
Students will create various elements of fairytales that challenge reader
expectations and represent new ways of thinking about the world we live
in.
