Author: Dianne Stewart
Publisher: Penguin Random House South Africa
ISBN: 1432309080
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
Folktales can be described as fictional prose narratives that are not confined to any particular culture. A folktale may appear in a slightly different form in a culture that is geographically nearby, or it may appear in a culture that is quite far removed from its original source. In The Zebra’s Stripes and other African Tales, Dianne Stewart has retold a collection of folk tales that have their origins all over Africa. Aimed at children and adults, these tales include legends such as ‘How Lion and Warthog became Enemies’ from the Lamba people of Togo, ‘How Giraffe Acquired his Long Neck’ from East Africa, ‘Why Hippopotamus Lives in the Water’ from Nigeria and ‘Monkey The Musician’ from South Africa. There are tales from the San, Zulu, Zambia, Congo and West Africa, et al. Each section is devoted to a type of animal, and concludes with some facts about the animal in question, adding educational to the stories. Proverbs from various cultures provide additional insight. Throughout, Kathy Pienaar’s beautiful illustrations show great attention to detail.

Pages : 1751
Book Description
Encyclopedic in its coverage, this one-of-a-kind reference is ideal for students, scholars, and others who need reliable, up-to-date information on folk and fairy tales, past and present. Folktales and fairy tales have long played an important role in cultures around the world. They pass customs and lore from generation to generation, provide insights into the peoples who created them, and offer inspiration to creative artists working in media that now include television, film, manga, photography, and computer games. This second, expanded edition of an award-winning reference will help students and teachers as well as storytellers, writers, and creative artists delve into this enchanting world and keep pace with its past and its many new facets. Alphabetically organized and global in scope, the work is the only multivolume reference in English to offer encyclopedic coverage of this subject matter. The four-volume collection covers national, cultural, regional, and linguistic traditions from around the world as well as motifs, themes, characters, and tale types. Writers and illustrators are included as are filmmakers and composers—and, of course, the tales themselves. The expert entries within volumes 1 through 3 are based on the latest research and developments while the contents of volume 4 comprises tales and texts. While most books either present readers with tales from certain countries or cultures or with thematic entries, this encyclopedia stands alone in that it does both, making it a truly unique, one-stop resource.

Storytelling at school to master the art of speech

ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
The word is first and foremost, at the heart of creation, it is one of the oldest tools of humanity. Oral proficiency is the basis of all learning: before learning how to read and write, the child must learn how to speak. We tend to believe that there are some that are born speakers with a natural charisma, capable of expressing themselves fluently... and there are others. Some benefit, during their early years, from a social environment that favours rich and complex conversations. This creates a gap with those from less privileged backgrounds. This gap, which is noticeable from their very first learning experiences, widens throughout their school years and has repercussions on their professional and their social life. However, good speaking skills can be taught! So, how can we help pupils to improve their command of the spoken word? Through practice, with storytelling. Tales are part of a common oral cultural heritage, they are structured narratives: a framework that encourages reasoning, memory, imagination, among many other benefits that we invite you to discover. We have chosen to present content for pupils aged 5 to 11, as these are crucial years for learning the fundamentals.

Languages : en
Pages : 600
Book Description
Russian literature for children and young people has a history that goes back over 400 years, starting in the late sixteenth century with the earliest alphabet primers and passing through many different phases over the centuries that followed. It has its own success stories and tragedies, talented writers and mediocrities, bestsellers and long-forgotten prize winners. After their seizure of power in 1917, the Bolsheviks set about creating a new culture for a new man and a starting point was children's literature. 70 years of Soviet control and censorship were succeeded in the 1990s by a re-birth of Russian children's literature. This book charts the whole of this story, setting Russian authors and their books in the context of translated literature, critical debates and official cultural policy.
