Hello all!
Here is the good reads link to the book I mentioned in class today. Angela Carter is one of my favourite writers and her alternative fairy tales are both beautiful, dark and rich texts to draw from.
Note: Not all of the stories in the collection are necessarily appropriate for a high school audience (sexual content, upper reading level) but some of them would work great, or even passages, in a text set.
Does anyone have any other texts you think would pair well with the idea of “alternative fairy tales”? I love fairy/folk tales and am thinking of doing a unit on them for my grade 7 ELA class.
