Traditional Lit.

Mrs. Harris has asked our class to define traditional literature in one sentence. Let me just say, that is no easy task. Traditional literature is comprised of many components. I would define traditional literature as a type of literature that is passed on through a culture, and that is child based in story.

Using traditional based literature in the classroom would be a great opportunity to get to know the students and their culture. The students could pick a traditional literature book that reflects their culture. The teacher could also use this as a good opportunity to instill values and morals for the students.

I would definitely use traditional literature in my classroom because the traditional literature is useful to teach students values and life's lessons. The students would enjoy remaking the stories and changing them to fit their own culture. This would be fun for students to remake a story they like.
