Subject Area and Intended Grade Level 

Folktales and 2nd grade

 

  

Description 

Literature exchange of a traditional and contemporary folktale to compare and contrast the characters, settings, and plots.

 

  

Learner Outcomes 

TEKS 2.6B - Compare different versions of the same story in traditional and contemporary folktales with respect to their characters, settings, and plot.

 

Time  

One session - 45 to 60 minutes

   

Preparation 

In advance, read a folktale such as Stone Soup by Marcia Brown, Cactus Soup by Eric A. Kimmel, A Pot of Stone Soup by Robert R. O’Brien or Burgoo Stew by Susan Patron and Mike Shenon. Students could also develop very basic, popsicle stick puppets/characters and a skit or reader’s theater to convey plot.

We recommend  a teacher  pre-conference before the session in order to discuss the book their class will be reading, to test out their equipment and to talk about expectations.

  

Materials 

 Recommendation: do not use paper sacks (noise),  suggest to avoid masks

 

Video Conference Agenda

Agenda 55 minutes

  

5 min Welcome and introductions. Each class shares their location and brief information about their school.  

30 min Presentations : Each class shares a 15-minute presentation on the assigned book.  

15 min Compare and Contrast:  (setting, characters and plot) For compare and contrast a double bubble Thinking Map will be used.  Teachers should negotiate who will cover what to prevent duplication.

5 min Closing:   Students to say good-bye and express gratitude for the time shared.

 

Post Activities 

Recommendations:  

 

Assessment & Evaluation

Thinking map-Double Bubble

 

 Optional     

Kahoot or NearPod

 

 

Implementation Plans 

This project can be used for a beginner level introduction to video conferencing for the classroom/library in second grade but it can be adapted to meet the needs of all elementary levels.  The coordinator will be the librarian from each campus.
