Hello and welcome, young adventurers, to a magical journey through the enchanting realm of fairy tales! Prepare yourselves for a journey into the shadowy depths of fairy tales, where the twisted roots of folklore wind through the chilling and the macabre. Picture this: knights in shining armor, mischievous fairies, talking animals, and daring quests that defy the limits of imagination. That's what you get when you let Disney take hold of the story and retell it for the masses. This class is not for the faint of heart as we traverse the murky origins of these haunting tales, from the grim bedtime stories that send shivers down kids's spines to the bone-chilling narratives that will keep you awake at night. In the dim recesses of history, fairy tales emerged as cautionary whispers, born from the shadows of folklore, where eerie encounters with evil creatures and dark magic wove unsettling narratives that mirrored the fears and mysteries of ancient cultures. In our exploration, we will look at well-known classic fairy tales that may not seem what you think they are. So, forget about those knights in shining armor; we're delving into the realm where darkness reigns and danger lurks around every corner. We'll also confront the twisted metamorphosis of these tales in the present day, where modern storytellers (like Disney) reshaped them into dancing and singing animals and love stories. Join us, brave souls, as we unravel the sinister threads of folklore, exploring the ominous morals, cursed magic, and spine-chilling tales that have haunted the hearts of generations. This class will be a portal to fairy tales' eerie (sometimes bizarre) beginnings, revealing the dark corners where cautionary whispers took shape. Then, we will bring them to the present day and ask why we changed them. As you step beyond the threshold of our journey, you may view the familiar stories through a new lens, appreciating the original and the new, and maybe ask yourself, what do these ghastly adaptations reveal about our ever-evolving world?

Content Warning:
Folk and fairy tales often deal with difficult topics and come from diverse cultures across history, leading to a range of attitudes towards gender, race, class, religion, ability, mental health, and ethnicity. Throughout this course, we will explore the historical and often unsettling origins of classic fairy tales. These narratives may contain elements that reflect their time's fears, values, and cultural contexts, and some tales may touch on sensitive subjects such as abuse, premarital sex, slavery, gender-based violence, and suggestions of rape. By honing our skills as critical readers, we can learn to tell new stories for a better world.
I understand the importance of age-appropriate discussions and assure you that I will approach any mature content with sensitivity. I encourage open communication between you and your child about their coursework, and I am more than willing to address any concerns or questions you may have. My goal is to create a learning environment that fosters understanding while respecting the comfort levels of all students and their families.

석사 학위 영어 Simmons University에서
Reflecting on my early years of learning, what stands out most in my memories are the subjects I found joy in, the teachers who made learning a delightful experience, and the freedom to explore topics that fascinated me. These are the very aspects of homeschooling that I cherish while educating my children. My kids pursue classes they genuinely enjoy by tailoring their education to their interests and seamlessly integrating various aspects of learning into their favorite subjects. At the same time, I have the opportunity to teach subjects that I'm passionate about. It's truly a win-win situation.
I completed my MFA in Writing for Children at Simmons University in Boston, MA, where I honed my skills and expanded my knowledge in this specialized field. This program has allowed me to deepen my understanding and expertise in writing for young audiences, an area I am passionate about. While at Simmons, I finished a few manuscripts (one for young adults, two picture books, and a middle-grade novel), which I am now looking to publish.
I love learning, researching, telling stories, and creating new and exciting worlds that my kids and I visit often. When they were young, we would lie in bed and tell stories "in the round." What are stories in the round? This is when one family member would start a story, and then the next person would add to that story, and so on until we finished the story or laughed too hard to continue. This is why my daughter now loves telling her own stories, has created a whole new universe for many of her characters, and plans to take on Marvel and DC.
I am also an avid animal lover and have been since childhood. This is why I decided to get my Bachelor of Science in something that I truly loved - animals. While working at a humane society in Vermont, I found a degree program created by the Humane Society of the United States. I now have a B.S. in Humane Leadership from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. Some of my classes highlight animals, such as "The Pawprints of History 1 & 2" and "Civil War Dogs."
I thrive in interactive teaching environments. I value students' active participation in the learning process and cherish being an integral part of their educational journey. I particularly enjoy helping them discover the connections between lessons taught by different educators, enabling them to see the bigger picture and making the learning process enjoyable and engaging for both the students and myself. Witnessing the wealth of knowledge children possess and having the privilege of enlightening and learning from them is an awe-inspiring experience.
One quote by George Santayana profoundly resonates with me: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." This quote encapsulates the essence of why I hold a deep appreciation for history, not just any history. I am particularly drawn to the peculiar and fascinating aspects that often go unnoticed. Moreover, I deeply value delving into the multifaceted aspects of history, uncovering and highlighting the invaluable contributions and rich experiences of individuals from diverse backgrounds, including women, children, people of color, the LGBTQIA+ community, and more. Throughout my four years of teaching history, I have pursued various courses at esteemed institutions such as Simmons University, Duquesne University, UMASS, and CCV in Vermont.
I have diverse interests spanning various subjects, including storytelling, intriguing history, captivating geography, animal studies, novel analysis, and exploring TV and movies. I am eagerly looking forward to the opportunity to engage with you in our class!
