The appeal of tales about such popular tricksters as Coyote, Brer Rabbit, Raven, and Turtle and the magic of fairy tales can be used to attract students into a variety of related learning experiences. Kraus’ bibliography and activity guide shows how to use these tales in a planned sequence that leads into motivational reading, prediction activities, Venn diagramming comparisons, and such creative extensions as art and shadow puppetry. In addition to the activities and lesson plans, this guide has extensive charts that index themes and provide many access points for the stories. Comparisons of multicultural Cinderella tales and annotated bibliographies that are organized by cultural and geographic groups are also included.
