Another type of fairy tale that teaches children lessons on good/bad behavior are Exemplary Tales. This type of tale is usually a story about an exceptionally character that will give a lesson on good virtue to a child. I have 2 tales in this category…
First is a short story by the Grimm Brothers. It is pretty obvious that the girl in this story is so kind she would literally give the shirt off her back! There is a video connection at the end of the story if you would prefer a visual tale.
Week 10 The Star Coins
Next, is a story that some of you might be familiar with, The Steadfast Tin Soldier. It is written by Hans Christian Andersen, who we will learn more about next week as we look at morals and virtues! Art the bottom of this story I added a link to a YouTube video… it is the Disney short from Fantasia 2000 on this tale. Enjoy!
Week 10 The Steadfast Tin Soldier Andersen
For this assignment, read both stories and give a short summary of these tales, in about 100 words. Next, write what you see as exemplary behaviors of each lead character that the author wanted to share with children? Do you think these are important lessons for children today? What did you like/dislike about these tales? (another 100 words)
