Use this PowerPoint to discuss the various differences between folk and fairy tales with students. Guided questions help to facilitate discussion, and Beauty and the Beast is used as a central point. The effect of both industry and Disney is included.
Use this PowerPoint to provide background for students as they come to understand King Leopold of Belgium, some history of the Congo, colonialism, etc. I used this in tandem with the introduction and prologue to Hochschild's text and as we began reading the first chapter of Heart of Darkness.
