Folktales / Traditional Literature comprehensive unit designed for direct and explicit teaching of how to identify different folktale genres by analyzing the setting, events, and characters of the folktale genres: • Fairy Tales • Fables • Tall Tales • Legends • Myths We've added a Google Classroom version for the activities in this bundle. We also have a fiction genre unit (realistic fiction, historical fiction, science fiction, fantasy, mystery). Check it out! ★ Fiction Genre Lesson Plans and Ppts.★ You can have both genre units for a discounted price in our Genre Bundle. Check it out! ★ Genre Bundle★ Identifying folktale genres can be confusing for students. This unit breaks down the skill of identifying folktale genres into 8 lessons that are scaffolded. It includes 8 very detailed lesson plans with 8 interactive PowerPoints that go with each lesson. It is so thorough that the teacher will need little prep time and would be great to use at the beginning of a busy year or with a long-term sub. This unit would also be a great tool to use with intervention groups and tutoring because of the way it is chunked into bite-size lessons. An adorable social media theme is used throughout the unit to engage the students with texts, tweets, snapchat-like photos, online shopping, Facebook-like profile sheet, and emojis and more emojis! Purpose of Unit We created this unit because materials that teach the skill of identifying folktale genre thoroughly are difficult to find. Most materials rush the process, but identifying folktale genres takes time and lots of practice. Our goal was to allow the students time to work with the different folktale genres so that they truly would know the specific setting, events, and characters of each folktale genre. This knowledge will help them predict patterns when they read different stories and increase their comprehension and assist in their narrative writing. After the students have been taught how to identify different folktale genres by analyzing the setting, events, and characters, they will then practice by looking at short examples and choosing the correct folktale. Whole stories are not included, but this unit can be used alongside folktales the class is reading. Includes: - 8 very detailed lesson plans with learning goals, learning targets - 8 formative assessments for each lesson - 8 accompanied PowerPoints to guide the teaching and engage the students - Samples for assessments and tasks - “I Can” Statements - Learning Scales and Student Tracking Sheet based on Marzano’s Learning Scales - 1 summative assessment - 1 Writing Craftivity - 5 Classroom Genre Posters We broke down the learning goal of “Identifying folktale genres by analyzing the setting, events and characters” into digestible lessons. This unit will easily last 3 weeks if not more, but when the students are finished, they will be able to identify folktale genres throughout their lives. The 8 Scaffolded Learning Targets are: - Lesson One - Name three story elements that help to identify genre - Lesson Two - State important characteristics of a folktale - Lesson Three – Summarize the specific traits of fairy tales, tall tales, fables, legends, and myths - Lesson Four – Use the setting of a story to identify or eliminate a possible genre - Lesson Five – Use the events of a story to identify or eliminate a possible genre - Lesson Six – Use the characters of a story to identify or eliminate a possible genre - Lesson Seven – Identify folktale genres (fairy tales, fables, tall tales, legends, and myths) by analyzing the setting, events, and characters. - Lesson Eight – Prewrite and write a folktale story using the typical setting, events, and characters of the specific genre. Formative Assessments to Check for Understanding: - Lesson One - Ticket out the door text message - Lesson Two - Ticket our the door tweet message - Lesson Three - Note-taking and hashtag summary of each genre’s traits - Lesson Four - Snapchat-like settings on photos to identify a specific genre story - Lesson Five - Tweet message that describes an event that relates to a specific genre story - Lesson Six - Online Shopping Cart that relates to a specific genre character. - Lesson Seven - 4 Practice sheets for students to analyze a genre by the setting, events, and characters - Lesson Eight - Facebook type profile sheet for prewriting a folktale story and an emoji craftivity to publish the writing. Detailed Lesson Plans for Teachers Include: - CCSS Standard - Overview of Lesson - Learning goal and target - Critical Input / Teacher Focus - Enduring Understanding - Essential Question - Materials Needed - Formative Assessment - Summative Assessment - Accompanying PowerPoints - Detailed lessons with each target that include: - Motivational Hook - Guided Practice - Independent Practice / Formative Assessment Ways to Use this Unit - Whole group reading time - Small group explicit teaching time - Intervention groups - Long-term Sub Plans - Tasks can be used during reading block flex-time to keep students engaged.

Folktales, Fables, Fairytales, and Tall Tales come up at some point throughout the year with all grade levels from Kinder to 5th grade. Over the years, I've found some absolutely WONDERFUL anchor charts that helped me create a visual reminder for my students. Unfortunately, after using these anchor charts for a while, I noticed that my students were still having a difficult time understanding the difference between the six types of Traditional Literature. So I decided to create ONE anchor chart that combined all of the Traditional Literature story types. On this chart, each type of story is divided into 4 main sections (characters, setting, problem, solution). Each week, you teach a new type of story, fill in the anchor chart, and then read a picture book. After the story is over, refer back to the chart to see if it fits the information on the chart. I tested this anchor chart out with my 3rd graders, as they were studying these concepts at the same time that I was revising my anchor chart. Since I see each 3rd grade class once a week, this unit took 6 weeks to complete, but it was well worth the time! If you use this as a classroom teacher, you can finish it in 1-2 weeks. Update made on 12/6/2013: This year, instead of trying to make this anchor chart for each of my classes on chart paper, I took the blank chart on page 8 to Office Depot and made a 24x36 color poster. After laminating it, I used stikki-clips to hang each of the 5 types of Folktales and their definitions. This way, I can quickly go over the parts of each type of story (instead of having to write them in each time.) This update includes a blank color poster, a blank black/white poster, name cards for Fairy Tales, Fables, Myths, Legends, and Tall Tales, and the definitions for each story (characters, settings, problems, and solutions). It also includes some minor changes to the definitions. Updated 4/3/16: I included pages of bookmarks to make it easier to copy. There's an individual page for Folktales, Fairytales, Fables, Myths, Legends, and Tall Tales.

This Prezi features creative design and unique backgrounds to give students information on different types of folklore. The different types discussed include: Folk Tales Fairy Tales Tall Tales Fables Legends Myths Definitions and examples are given for each type. Prezi presentations are a fantastic replacement for or addition to Powerpoints and other more standard presentation material in the classroom. The presentation "zooms" and "flys" across stunning backgrounds. Use Prezis to replace boring old Powerpoints. :) If you like the Prezi, please rate your purchase and provide feedback!
