The folklore unit is focused on the use of storytelling in the development of our national and global identities.  Emphases include motifs in folklore, tall tales and the development of the American identity, creating tales to create moral lessons, global adaptations of the Cinderella story, and modern urban legends and e-legends.  The class will be reading Holes by Louis Sachar.  Please check out the Projects link for information on the major assignments for this unit.
