Fables and Folk Tales from around the globe

During our extensive study of fables and folk tales from around the world, the children spent a lot of time analyzing the characteristics of each (Common Core Standard RL2.2), as well as comparing and contrasting many of the stories (Common Core Standard RL2.9). To conclude the unit of study, they each chose one fable or folk tale to study in depth. By completing a book report on one story, they were able to use their higher order thinking skills to analyze the book, as well as relate how the moral applies to their lives. Here we are hard at work putting together a special slide show for you.
