Retellings...gingerbreads...people in societies oh my!

We are going to have a lot of fun learning about people in society as well as learning how to write a retelling. We are going to combine both our language arts and social studies unit. We will read some great books: The Cajun Cornbread Boy, The Runaway Pancake, Clay Boy ,and Gingerbread Baby. We will read these stories and write retellings. Our focus will be the characters, setting and being able to write what happened at the beginning, middle and end. They will also have an opportunity to work on some reading learning targets by drawing their mental images from the stories.
