Thesis:
Fairy tales are good for children because they help kids be creative and teach them how to deal with problems and learn right from wrong.
Article from List A:
One article I liked from List A is “Tell Fairy Stories to Your Children” by Jane Stafford. She says kids remember lessons better from stories than from lectures. I think this is true because stories are fun and easier to understand. Fairy tales can teach kids about good and bad behavior through exciting adventures. That’s why Stafford believes parents should keep reading fairy tales to their kids.
Article from List B:
From List B, I liked “Why Fairy Tales Matter” by Maria Tatar. She says fairy tales help kids deal with scary or hard feelings safely. I liked how she said kids don’t mind the dark parts—they feel better when the good people win. It helps them believe they can be strong too.

Hi Mohammed, I really liked your thesis and how you explained your ideas clearly! I agree that fairy tales can be a great way to help kids learn important lessons in a fun and memorable way. I also thought your point about stories being easier to understand than lectures was really smart—kids definitely pay more attention when they’re entertained.
I also liked that you mentioned Maria Tatar’s idea about kids handling dark or scary parts of stories. That’s so true—those moments can actually teach kids that it’s possible to overcome fear and that good can win in the end. Your examples helped me see more of the positive side of fairy tales. Great job!
Hi, I really liked your take on this. You brought out a really good argument that kids learn from stories more than lectures I even believe that’s the case for some adults as well. The way you put Maria Tatar’s theory about how kids are able to handle dark elements of fairy tales was spot on. It’s really interesting how those types of stories end up making kids tougher instead of scared. Your responses really well written.
You did a great job explaining how both articles support your thesis. I liked how you showed that stories are easier for kids to remember than lectures, which makes fairy tales a great way to teach lessons. Your point about how fairy tales help kids understand good and bad behavior was clear. I also liked how you explained Maria Tatar’s idea that fairy tales help kids handle scary emotions. Overall, well done.
