Fairy Tales and Tall Tales: Supplemental Guide | Introduction 5- Elements of Stories Chart (Instructional Master 1A-3) is a graphic
organizer that shows the basic components of a story. You may wish
to fill out a chart for each fairy tale. A completed chart is included in
each lesson for fairy tales. - Story Map for fairy tales (Instructional Master 1B-1) is a worksheet
students can fill out to show their understanding of the story. - Sequencing the Story (a set of six images each) are illustrations from
“The Fisherman and His Wife” and “The Emperor’s New Clothes.”
Students use these illustrations to sequence the plot of the story and
retell fiction read-alouds, including key details. - (Instructional Master 5A-2) U.S. Map—A student copy of a U.S. map is
included so that students can identify on their own maps the various
locations and landmarks that are referred to in the tall tale lessons. - Class Book Fair—You may wish to have every student bring in their
favorite fairy tale book, including storybooks in their home language.
Display their favorite stories in the classroom throughout this domain.
(If students do not own a copy of their favorite story, help them locate
a copy from the school or local library.) Each day you may wish to
have one or two students retell their favorite fairy tale so that by the
end of this domain, every student will have shared their favorite fairy
tale with the class. - Art and Drama Connections—You may wish to coordinate with the
school’s art teacher to create an art project related to this domain,
e.g., creating a book cover for one of the fairy tales or tall tales, or
creating a backdrop for the setting of one of the stories. Several
stories in this domain can be performed on stage. (See the On Stage
extension activities in the Tell It Again! Read-Aloud Anthology for Fairy
Ta les a nd Ta ll Ta les.) You may wish to coordinate with the school’s
drama teacher to have your students or a group of interested students
act out one of the stories.
