Tall Tales

We have been learning about tall tales. We talked about exaggeration, and fact verses fiction. The kids had a lot of fun learning about these characters in our history. 

The craftivity in the middle is from a pack I bought by Cupcake for the Teacher on Teachers Pay Teachers.

Throughout the unit, we read books about the heroes by Mary Pope Osborn and Steven Kellogg and I showed the kids short videos from the Disney's American Legends DVD.  We compared the books with the movies to find what was the same and what was different. 

At the end of the unit the kids got to make sicker scenes of two characters that we learned about. I got the sicker scenes from the Oriental Trading Company.
