Abstract
In this article we offer curricular suggestions for teaching Elana K. Arnold’s young adult title Damsel, a subverted fairytale rewrite, using a critical literacy framework. In doing so, we outline how English curriculum has often upheld oppressive systems that harm women, and how our teaching can challenge such systems. We situate this work through the retelling of a fairytale trope given the ubiquity of such stories in secondary students’ lives. Our writings have teaching implications for both secondary English language arts classrooms and higher education fields such as English, folklore, mythology, and gender studies. We end by noting the limitations of such teaching.
在这篇文章中，我们用批判性的读写框架，为教授Elana K. Arnold的青少年小说《少女》提供课程建议，这是一个被颠覆的童话重写。在此过程中，我们概述了英语课程如何经常支持伤害女性的压迫性制度，以及我们的教学如何挑战这种制度。鉴于童话故事在中学生的生活中无处不在，我们通过重新讲述童话故事的比喻来定位这项工作。我们的文章对中学英语语言艺术课堂和高等教育领域(如英语、民间传说、神话和性别研究)都有教学意义。最后，我们要指出这种教学的局限性。
