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!!
