They learn the songs, myths, and folktales, as well as the values and customs that have carried their culture from one generation to the next.
For this assignment select a particular culture to explore through a folktale, myth, song, or story that comes from that culture. I encourage you to work with a culture other than your own, in order to expand your awareness of cross-cultural development. You will be identifying some cultural values that are transmitted to young children through stories, while applying some of the concepts we?re learning about cognitive development.
Some suggested sources to use for your folktales include The Hungry Tigress and Other Traditional Asian Tales, by Rafe Martin (1984), Spider Woman?s Granddaughters, by Paula Gunn Allen (1989), or The Crest and the Hide and Other African Stories, by Harold Courlander (1982).
In your paper you should identify the source, author, and title of the story, along with a brief summary of the tale. Then describe the cultural value(s) and show how the story illustrates this value. For this you will need to do some background research on the culture you have selected (use scholarly sources and document them properly).
In the final part of your paper you will apply some of the concepts of cognitive development (e.g. egocentrism, animism, magical thinking?) by discussing how a preoperational child is likely to view the tale. Be sure to show how the story illustrates some of these concepts.
