CHAPTER 6 BLOG
TRADITIONAL LITERATURE
Traditional literature is the written form of stories that are a part of the oral tradition of culture.
In Chapter six we discussed the plot, the setting, the characterization, the style, and the theme. These are all the literacy elements of traditional literature. They are also found in the fiction literature, but they portray a unique message in each type of literature. The book gives us many different books that explain what traditional literature is all about. This chapter shows us how to use this literature in the classrooms. Children enjoy the different types such as jokes, riddles, folk songs, folk tales and nursery rhymes. It will make any lesson more interesting. The children will get involved and they will have fun.
I love how this book gives so many helpful tips and useful resources. The guidlines that chapter six gives are there to make sure that we are selecting the best quality and making a difference in the child. Literature can only be effective if you take all the right steps to make it that way. We have to use all differnt types of genres for our own classroom library. The books you choose will influence each child. There will be plenty of kids so there needs to be plenty of different genres in the book selection.

I thought you captured chapter 6 perfectly. I'm glad you pointed out that the book offers many different books that explain what traditional literature is all about. I'm going to have to look back at that! I believe we do have to expose our students to different literature and agree that providing different genres in your classroom library is a must. You do need to remember that we are there in the classroom to broaden our students minds. It was a pleasure reading your blog. Take care.
