Connecting with Traditional Literature: Using Folktales, Fables, and Legends to Strengthen Students' Reading and Writing - Tapa blanda

This book describes a unique approach that enables readers to effectively connect reading and writing processes in a workshop format. Students in the classroom community work together to identify characteristics of traditional literature by using critical thinking and reading activities. They then write their own stories that reflect some of these characteristics. The sampling of activities in this helpful guide show how reading and writing serve as interdependent tools for developing literacy in each student. Most importantly, these activities can easily be adapted to include literature from a variety of genres.
