Folktales: Tall Tales

Elephant Post 6 - 3rd Grade 2014

 **Reminder, leave a comment, for tickets in class**

3rd graders are enjoying Folktales!  Last week, we read Fairy Tales.  This week will be looking at Tall Tales, Fables, Myths, and Legends.  We are creating a poster in class in order to define all of these types of stories.  When we are finished, I will upload it onto the blog. 

Tall Tales:

  Paul Bunyan


John Henry


1) What is a Tall Tale?
2) How are these two Tall Tale Characters similar?
3) What are the characters' exaggerated features?
4) How could you be a Tall Tale Hero?

Thanks!!

      It is great, isn't it? I like how they say he was born with a hammer in his hand. Why do you think they say this?

    1. A tall tale is a story with a happly ever after
    2.They like to be outside and take challenges
    3. John Henry is strong. Paul Bunyan is very big.
    4. Elephant 17 - I would be super fast as a lightening bolt. Elephant 12 - I would be strong as a gorilla.
