Option A: Analysis of a Postmodern Fairy Tale

NOTE: I recommend this option to the graduate students who did not work in education or have had some exposure to teaching.
Remmeber that those taking this option will have a shorter and easier written text in class. It will not contain questions related to postmodern theory.
