Traditional Book Reports- Familiar and New

Date Correction...We are changing our due date for our Traditional Story Book Report project. Because of many reasons, we are changing the due date to Apr. 4. Hope that doesn't make anyone shed a tear!
(Start looking for the traditional story you'd like to do for your book report. A sample book report will be posted at the beginning of next week.)

Traditional stories are ones that were passed down orally for many generations before being written down.  They include fairy tales, folk tales, tall tales, legends, fables, and myths.  In the Public Library, these books are found in the children's nonfiction section under call numbers beginning with J398.2Students are required to choose a book from this section of the library.

The stories are many and varied, familiar and new, and rich with cultural heritage and moral themes.  I hope the students will take advantage of the wonderful opportunity they have to explore this genre.  We will certainly enjoy studying some of the books together at school! Below are a few examples:
