Every pocket in Tall Tales Grades 4-6 begins with a two-page reproducible retelling of a tale. There is a teacher resource page that offers suggestions for sharing the tale. Comprehension, art, and writing activities follow, helping the story come to life for students. A final pocket challenges students to write their own original tall tale, utilizing the story elements they have observed in the tall tales presented. Two pages of evaluation forms help both teacher and student assess what was learned. The eight stories in this book include: - Pecos Bill
- Slue-Foot Sue
- Paul Bunyan
- Babe the Blue Ox
- John Henry
- Davy Crockett
- Alfred Bullfrog
- Stormalong
- Mose the Firefighter
