Does anyone have a good lesson or explanation of the difference between fairy tales and folk tales. I will post a HIT if there is interest. I checked the archives and didn't find anything. I'm trying to teach this to my 3rd graders. Today, I started with fairy tales and told them that they usually started with "once upon a time", ended with "happily ever after", had magic in them and usually royalty (prince, princess, king, queen). Then, I got to thinking: is Goldilock and the 3 bears a fairy tale? How about Little Red Riding Hood? Neither of these contain the characteristics I told them to look for and I always considered them fairy tales. Any help would be appreciated. I feel I can't teach this lesson until I understand it myself. Thanks in advance for any responses.
