Traditional Literature-have no identifiable author, they are child base story's that have been passed down from storyteller to storyteller.

In the classroom traditional literature can be used to help children understand the world, Identify with universal human struggles, and can be read for pleasure. They can use these books to understand other children in there classroom. Maybe you have a student who is of a different culture, you can find a book about there culture and present it to the class. This will give them a better understanding of things.

Yes I would use traditional Literature in my class. Its a way for children to escape into a different world. These kinds of books give children great understanding of how to image new things and different ways of seeing one story. I remember growing up with traditional literature and I loved it so much, and I still love it. To teach children to have the love for this is a great thing.
