I find that I can usually use children's literature with women and older men. Where I find it hard is with young men. They seem to feel it is childish. I have used some Children's Lit with a Syrian population,but had to be very careful with what I picked out. They were very academically oriented . I think using fables and myths at any level though is a good idea. I rewrote some of Aesop to use in my low level ESL with all men in the prison. Rae Connors
