Usagi in the classroom
Posted: Wed Aug 16, 2006 13:20 -0700
Now that I'm a full-fledged English teacher, I'm seriously considering using Usagi stories to illustrate plot points and general characteristics of fiction for my 7th graders. However, I have two concerns:
1. Would Stan Sensai approve of photocopied Usagi packets used for such a purpose?
2. What's the "official" way to document such permission? My school's photocopy center wants hard evidence before reproducing any copyrighted works.
I really think my 7th graders would adore using Usagi as a model. The tales are simple enough for anyone to follow, yet rich in plot, characterization, and subtlety.
