Multicultural literature is used as the basis for establishing skills in reading, thinking, & writing (critically & creatively). Poems, games, questions, & project ideas are all included to make each lesson entertaining & interesting!

Legends are usually based upon a real person with exaggeration added to the story to make it more interesting. Folk tales (FT) have a moral of the story placed in them to teach a lesson to the reader. Students enjoy legends & FT because they see how different situations affect characters' lives. Students sometimes pretend to be one of the characters in a story, experiencing the same adventures as the character. This guidebook for teachers includes 10 multicultural legends. Each unit includes activities to promote critical & creative thinking. Includes questions, independent research & planning activities, & creative writing projects. Each of the 10 stories is followed by an activity.

Because children often like books about monsters, magic and make-believe, this book shows how to teach critical and creative thinking skills using ten popular children's stories.
