This track provides links that help describe elements of folktales along with creative ways to teach them. I will be teaching it in my 1st period reading class. (8th grade) Students will be reading various folktales and identifying the elements that are different from myths or legends. Students will also be creating their own folktale using the guide included in this track. Learner Expectations: * The student will develop the structural and creative skills necessary to produce written language that can be read and interpreted by various audiences. * The student will develop the reading skills necessary for word recognition, comprehension, interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and appreciation of the written text. * The student will use, read, and view media/technology and analyze content and concepts accurately. * The student will express ideas clearly and effectively in a variety of oral contexts and apply active listening skills in the analysis and evaluation of spoken ideas.
