Week of Sept. 19-23 6th grade
I have recently read some amazing Pourquoi Tales! I now know everything from Why Elephants have Long Trunks to How Pigs got Curly Tails.
Now, we are exaggeratin' like nobody's business with a tale or two from some frontier folk and good ole country boys and gals in our Tall Tales. The students are working in groups to hone in on their skills of story tellin'. They must develop characters, assign that character appearances and abilities, develop settings, problem, solution/accomplishments, and resolutions. We should complete this task by Tuesday.
Then we will take some time to read a few folk tales from other countries. Our first will be "The Disobedient Child"- a Guatemalan tale.
The Vocabulary for this week:
fanciful
colossal
omen
imagery
exaggeration
personification
hyperbole
culture
tradition
point of view
