In our Trillium through Clarkia library classes we are preparing for our all school field trip to the "Shrek" musical. It's been very exciting. We have pretended we are sitting around a campfire surrounded by trees, stars, friends and families, and NO technology. How would we entertain ourselves? What would we do to save memories with little writing technology? One of our Trillium students suggested we needed s'mores and were shocked to learn marshmallows weren't invented yet. All the classes realized that storytelling would be a powerful way to spread memories and be entertained by. We discussed the inventions of folktales and read one of our favorite fairytales. We learned that fairy tales have certain characters: royalty and animals, specific settings: castles and forests, a common conflict: good vs. evil, and a common resolution: good overcoming evil with a happy ever after.
