What is a Tall Tale?
We had some examples in class this Monday. Please do not pick “Paul
Bunyan” because we already found some characteristics and used it as an example
for you in class.
On A4 sheets of paper, answer the questions:
What is a tall tale?
Why is it called “Tall
Tale”?
What are the main
characteristics we find in tall tales? Describe and name 5 characteristics of a
tall tale in a short paragraph.
Next, find some tall tales
then…
Carefully read
one you liked the most. Copy at least 5 passages from the tall tale and beautifully
illustrate them, and then bring your work to class.
Here is an
example from Paul Bunyan:
“As a child, Paul was always hungry. His
parents needed tens cows to supply milk for his meals. Before long, he ate
fifty eggs and ten containers of potatoes every day.”
(This passage was beautifully illustrated in class)
In class, you will share your work…
Retell the tall tale, show
the illustrations on mini-posters (A4 paper)
Illustration: story elements
Mention the basic elements
of a story (we have learned them in class);
Use the anthology (classroom
books) to choose up a tall tale or check some of the websites to
help you find what you need:
