From the Land of Enchantment: Creative Teaching with Fairy Tales (Gifted Treasury Series)

Here are a wealth of ideas, resources, and teaching techniques that promote multiple intelligences, techniques, and problem- and product-based learning. Flack uses fairy tales to provide a common theme to a variety of effective teaching strategies and engaging activities, such as making books, writing and editing newspapers, and creating a classroom museum. Drawing on Bloom's Taxonomy and the work of such experts as Gardner, Maslow, and Kohlberg, he places special emphases on learning process, literacy, thinking skills, integrated learning, diversity, and academic excellence.
