**Chapter 6** - //Please review pages 208-211 very carefully prior to answering the following question.// A group of parents contact you about the use of traditional literature during a read-aloud in the library/classroom. The parents of these 4th and 5th graders believe that you should not use traditional literature because they are a misrepresentative of truth, lack morals and values and has no historical value/merit. Furthermore, they prefer that you select ‘literature classics’ for future read-alouds in the library/classroom. What will be your response to these parents about your use of traditional literature? What would you say to the parents to advocate for its use and how children can benefit from this type of literature? Present your response in detail. **Chapter 7** - Define modern fantasy. Compare and contrast the similarities and differences between modern fantasy and traditional literature. Use specific examples of stories from both genres referenced in your textbook for your response.
