Social Studies
The Social studies standard was used as a companion to the ELA standard used throughout the unit. Folktale and Talltales can be a fun activity for younger students and older students alike. Each lesson can be altered to fit the age group. The activities can be changed for different folktales for this lesson the students used Johnny Appleseed, Paul Bunyan, and John Henry. By making the graphic organizer with each character the students were able to recall details about each story that they could incorporate or use as a base for their own folktales.
