Essential Questions:
1. How are fables and folktales similar and different?
2. What is the moral or lesson in the story, and how can you use this lesson in your own life?
Right before winter vacation, the children finished writing their fable or folktale book reports. In addition to the essential questions listed above, the children used their higher order thinking skills as they analyzed their particular book. Here are some of the stories the students have read and analyzed.
 |
| The Mud Pony Retold by Caron Lee Cohen Native American Folktale from North America |
 |
| The Blind Men and the Elephant Retold by Karen Backstein Originated in India |
 |
| Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears Retold by Verna Aardema Originated in Ghana, West Africa |
 |
| The Run Away Wok Retold by Ying Chang Compestine Originated in Beijing, China |

Wow! What amazing kids we have; incredible re-telling of the different Fable's and Folklore's core values and lessons - new and old. The kind of creativity that goes into a project like this teaches us all so much. The illustrations were fantastic and I really enjoyed the funny little moving mouths - very cool web app, this Chaterkids. I'll have to try it at work!
Wow, everyone did a great job! I think Mason did a great job on his picture and when he made his mosquito make noise.
