Welcome to Week 10 of our online course. This week we will be exploring the genre of fairy tales. We’ll be reading several works centered on the Snow White Story. These include the fairytale “Little Snow White” by the Brothers Grimm and the poem “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” by Anne Sexton. An excerpt from the book The Uses of Enchantment by famed psychologist Bruno Bettleheim, will add much to think about with respect to themes and symbolism. Note: There is no quiz this week, and there is no discussion board. If you want to improve your Essay 2 grade, please see Activity 8 on this week’s page. This substitute essay will be due Sunday, November 10th.
