Folk tales. Tall Tales and Legends
By karen

Clip to ScrapBook   
Hi Farrah,
I did a Folk Tales, Tall Tales and American Legends unit last year. It included Native American Cherokee legends like Grandmother Spider Brings the Sun, How Rabbit Tricked Otter, How Tortoise Cracked His Shell, Why Possum's Tail Is Bare. Native American Stories like Annie and the Old One, The Legend of the Indian Paintbrush, The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses, Jumping Mouse etc...
Tall Tales I used were Paul Bunyan, Davy Crockett,
Sally Ann Whirlwind Crockett, John Henry many Illustrated by Steven Kellogg. I asked the students to read the books create murals or diorams of their stories and include summaries of their favorite parts.
