My kids are studying culture, and the way I start out the unit is to have them read like 15 different versions of Cinderella. One of them is a "country" Cinderella who lives on a farm, has a hog for a fairy godmother, and goes to a square dance. The book is written with distinctly southern dialogue. (Also, "vernacular" was a vocabulary word.)
"Ms. Vinson, do people really talk like that?"
"Yes, some do."
"Yo, y'all vernacular be funny!"
"Oh, DO IT YO?"
"Right. You got me, Ms. Vinson, you got me."
