“When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than any talent for abstract, positive thinking.”
Albert Einstein
I can't get over just how much information there is on the different genres in literature. I have learned quite a bit of information just from doing research on the few that I've read about so far. Modern fantasy, science fiction, and fractured fairy tales are the latest recommended genres so far, and I must say that I was really fascinated and awed by what I've learned about them. I never even knew that the words, "fractured fairy tales" existed, so you can imagine my surprise when I read up on it. This genre must certainly be one of the favorites of authors of children's books. And, I can bet that when I introduce it to my students as a writing project, they'll be excited and willing participants!

Hi Geri,
ReplyDeleteYes I do agree with you, that there is alot of information we are learning, in regards to the different Genres. Needless to say, it is an enjoyment. With the "fractured" fairy tales it gave me endless ideas to conduct with my students, as a writing project as well. What I'd like to do is try and do some of our local fairytales, and let them become "fractured" fairytales...and idea to work with, hoping to inspire young writers....writers from our region, which we are in dire need of. Thank you for sharing, it is always a joy to know I am not the only one "discovering" new ideas.
