Braiding, etc.
I, too, enjoyed the braiding exercises. For whatever combination of reasons, I have resisted fairy and folk tales. However, braiding has allowed us to work into the tales and raise questions that we would like asked, which has revealed a more interesting side to the tales than I had previously appreciated.

Ooh cool thought. I'd love to know what sorts of questions piqued your interest in fairy tales (as someone who likes to tell them, this would be good to know).
ReplyDeleteThis exercise really illuminates the feeling of static-ness I sometimes find in folk tales. Not that I don't enjoy them, but that they are already whatever they're going to be. But they're not, because they can be just as living and thriving as any personal story.
