What is data collection and how do students demonstrate this with fairy tales?
After you have actively read the whole chapter of your choice including the introduction of the chapter from our TEXTBOOK and ALL tales within that chapter, you must decide on your variables of interest or VALUE. Show me your collection of this data.
1. You can submit graphs, Cornell notes, charts, spread sheets, column notes, etc., what ever format you wish, as long as it is generated on a computer and can be sent easily and opened by me easily.
Identify the Chapter number and title
Identify specific titles and authors’ names as well as page numbers of your data (minimum of 5 tales)
Track your data by noting variables/value (mark the text where you find evidence of this value whether its character description, behavior, dialogue or plot/conflict/action description and development)
Use direct quotations and citation end notes with page numbers like this (Gozenbach 148) (12-15 quotes is average)
Identify how the marked text reflects the VALUE(s) of your focus
Identify the lens(es) you have applied
Note constants and changes among all tales you’ve collected data from (5 minimum) to your valued area throughout 100 years of this trope
How, in what ways, has what you valued (data collected) survived (stayed the same) in this trope over 100 years?
How has what you valued in this trope changed over 100 years?
Why do you think this has changed in that way?
What in modern day do you see reflected, or what do you connect in modern times, presented from YOUR data? When you read your data, what does it make you think of that is relevant, important, interesting, or controversial today with our current knowledge? Align your quoted data (each quote) with HOW you see it as modern day connections. Try out various lenses here!
2. Suggest three possible arguments you make about this chapter based on the value(s), lenses, and evidence you have tracked.
This assignment has to be completed by reading chapter 4 “Hansel and Gretel” fro the book “THe Golden Age of Folk and Fairy Tales from the grimm brothers”
