Fairy Tales and Legends - G5-6 Booking form
Explore, learn, and grow from the tales of past generations.
Fairy Tales and Legends (Grades 5-6)
What students will discover:
Students will explore stories from many cultures and places both near and far to find out why these tales were told and what they taught. Students will then examine how relevant they are today and learn to copy the format to create modern-day fairy tales and legends of their own. (Pick an edition to get started).
