Studying Folklore



Students have begun a fascinating unit studying folklore. Students will be exploring a wide variety of folklore ranging from fairy tales and myths to tall tales, legends, and trickster stories. Not only will students be reading these stories, but they will also be creating their own stories both in small groups and independently. After kicking off the unit with an investigation of the traditional "Aladdin" story and its Disney version counterpart, students will then go on to investigate folklore from around the world by completing a webquest created by Ms. Porzio. Parents and guardians can also view this webquest and the connected assessment by going to http://zunal.com/webquest.php?user=23144.
