Levitation, Jokes, and Spin the Bottle; Contemporary Folklore in the Classroom--A Teacher's View.
Juska, Jane
English Journal, v74 n2 p37-38 Feb 1985
Describes the effect the teaching of a unit on contemporary folklore had on a high school English teacher and her students. Suggests that within each student is a wealth of untapped information that can be used as a basis from which to explore different kinds of writing and which can lead to new ways of looking at literature.
