ARCTIC FOLKLORE Students’ stories of myths, legends and happenings from around the North
Have you heard of the little people in the mountains? Is there more under the ice than water, seals and fish? What is the meaning of the northern lights’ dance? We teamed up with East Three Secondary School English teacher Megan McCaffery and students in her e-learning class to delve into folklore and legends. Students were tasked with either retelling a legend their elders had told them, creating their own or telling a story with a lesson at the end, which is typical of folklore. In the following pages, eight students share their stories of myths, adventures and all-out-weird occurrences in the North.
