Employing an innovative pedagogical approach, the research examines how students engage with and transform traditional narratives using a critical perspective and digital tools. This action research showcases how students collaboratively reconstructed fairy tales by reshaping characters, plotlines, and themes, with a particular emphasis on gender roles and empowerment. The integration of digital platforms facilitated the transformation, allowing for creative exploration of characters, settings, and emotions. Findings reveal that students exhibited nuanced critical insights as they questioned and reshaped traditional gender representations, power dynamics, and narrative structures. This research contributes to educational practices by highlighting the potential of critical multimodal literacy activities in fostering transformative learning experiences. By integrating critical analysis with digital storytelling, this study opens avenues for advancing pedagogical strategies that promote critical engagement, multimodal expression, and societal reflection.  \nKeywords: Critical Multimodal Literacy, Elementary School, Fairy Tales, Digital Storytelling  \nDOI: 10.29329/epasr.2023 .600.8  \nSubmitted: 02 February 2023 Accepted: 17 July 2023 Published: 30 September 2023  \n1Preliminary findings ofthis study were presented at the 18.

After all, she is her granddaughter.  \nYağız: Little Red Riding Hood is also forgetful. She does not listen to her mother's words and talks to the wolf.  \nİnci – Fatma: Yea …  \nSevgi: Yes, why are women always weak and men strong?  \nİnci: I agree. Why the hunter is not a woman, for example? There are also women hunters, for example our neighbor.  \n(A snippet from a whole class discussion while reading Little Red Riding Hood with a critical lens.)  \nFairy tales serve as bedtime stories for some children and classroom reading material for many others. Often perceived as innocent narratives (Leland, Lewison, & Harste, 2018), they are shared with children by parents, caregivers, and educators without much scrutiny. However, beneath their seemingly harmless exteriors, these tales may harbor subtle complexities. Notably, gender stereotypes and power imbalances are prevalent in fairy tales, potentially perpetuating ingrained biases (Lewison, Leland, & Harste, 2014) . Reflect upon iconic tales such as Cinderella, Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, among others. A common thread emerges-the female characters in these classic tales are often portrayed as vulnerable and reliant on the assistance of male figures like princes, hunters, or fairy godmothers. They appear passive, waiting to be rescued or dependent on male care.  \nGiven the premise that the texts encountered during early childhood influence children's comprehension of the world and their forthcoming identities (Richardson and Eccles, 2007), the habitual consumption of male-dominated narratives raises concerns about its potential impact on girls'self-confidence and boys' perceptions. Hence, instilling in children the ability to critically analyze texts becomes essential to unveil hidden power dy","cbCaigbKa3n0eqIn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigbKa3n0eqIn","pdf",711599,18,"English","# Abstract\n## Introduction\n## Action Research Design","[{\"question\":\"What is the focus of the study on critical multimodal literacy?\",\"answer\":\"The study focuses on how students use critical multimodal literacy to reconstruct fairy tales, transforming narratives with a critical perspective and digital tools.\"},{\"question\":\"How did students transform the fairy tales in the research?\",\"answer\":\"Students collaboratively reshaped characters, plotlines, and themes, emphasizing gender roles, empowerment, and power dynamics.\"},{\"question\":\"What learning outcomes does the study report from students’ activities?\",\"answer\":\"Students demonstrated nuanced critical insights by questioning and reshaping traditional gender representations and narrative structures, supported by digital storytelling.\"}]","Exploring Critical Multimodal Literacy in Reconstructing Fairy Tales 1 - Exploring Action Research | PDF",1792095762,45]
