Recount Folktales Mentor Texts- 2nd Grade RL.2.2 & 3rd Grade RL.3.2

⭐️Standards-based lessons using mentor texts. This unit is focused on 2nd and 3rd grade Common Core standards RL.2.2 and RL.3.2 recount folktales from diverse cultures, and determine their central message, lesson, or moral.

⭐️This unit is packed with one week of lesson plans, sticky notes teacher and student questions, anchor charts, student journal pages, rubrics, and activities.
