Tall Tales Literacy Activities, Graphic Organizers and Lapbook

$5.99

A tall tale is a humorous story with exaggerated events and characters that are often associated with life on the American frontier. If you need tall tale activities, this genre study comes in a fun interactive lap book format. Keep in mind, these resources also work well in an interactive notebook too. I chose to focus on the following skills for these tall tale activities: story elements and vocabulary of the tall tale in the folk tale genre, hyperbole, similes, analyzing characters and their unique traits and creative writing. The graphic organizers in this unit examine character traits, how to write a tall tale and a character trait analysis graph. This is perfect for listening comprehension while reading tall tales aloud to students.
