Students in Reading are focusing on the Oral Tradition - the sharing of stories, cultures and ideas by word of mouth. We've read folk tales, legends, fables, and myths about diverse cultures and have learned new vocab terms. Today/Monday, students will be reading an African-American folk tale, "The People Could Fly" and comparing it to the traditional song "I'll Fly Away." The one page response is due next class. Most students did well on the vocabulary quiz, and the grades will be posted once the B Day students test on Monday.
Looking ahead: September 6/7 - Oral Tradition Unit Test
