Oral Traditions

The sixth reading students began the Oral Traditions unit in our Literature book. The unit is also being introduced in Social Studies and will be carried over to Computers.

Oral Traditions
These types of stories all have some common elements:
keep the past alive
teach lessons about human behavior
reveal the values of the society.

The first tradition we will be reading is a folk tale. It was told primarily for entertainment and features humans or human-like animals.
