Fables & Folktales: An Interactive Discovery-Based Language Arts Unit for High-Ability Learners: Grades 6-8

The Interactive Discovery-Based Units for High-Ability Learners, for grades 6-8, provide teachers with opportunities to use exciting and challenging units in their classrooms. These engaging curriculum units culminate in authentic performance situations that provide students with open-ended opportunities to demonstrate academic understanding. Each book in the series contains tiered lessons that teachers can easily modify to meet individual students’ needs.

In Fables and Folktales, a language arts unit, students learn about story structure, word choice, and folktales and participate in a writers’ workshop before sharing their own tales in a storytelling festival.
