Packet Instructions
1.
Read each
story from a colorfully illustrated edition.
Note: tales from
around the world are original adaptations so books are not available.
2.
Copy and
distribute packets to students – carefully go over directions and let them
work alone, in pairs or in groups.
Have them re-read the story as they go, illustrate the pages and
complete the activities.
3.
Do Story
Connections activities. These
are aligned with the Step Up to Writing series available from Sopris West.
4.
Do Math
Connections and other activities.
5. Packet alternative – after reading the story together – divide students into groups or pairs, hand out extra large paper or pieces of butcher paper and paints, pass out one packet page to each pair or group and create a giant big book.
