[Free Talk] #8 Doing Independent Research or Inquiry Activities with Classical Literature #KyoikuPodcastDay

A proposal that The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter might be great for independent research using classical literature.

In a podcast learning high school classical literature, the fun of taking up classical literature as a theme for independent research that can be done in about a week is introduced. The joy of research, which is doing what someone else has already done for yourself, is discussed.

Comparing the original text and remakes of The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter sounds interesting.

A method of comparing the original text of The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter with remake versions such as picture books, anime, movies, and novels is proposed. By comparing works that translate the original as-is with those that are arranged, new discoveries are likely to be made.

Extracting and comparing the same part reveals the differences.

By cutting out a single part, such as the beginning of The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, you investigate how the expression differs from picture books and movies. Even deeper discussions follow, but please listen to the main episode for the rest.
