Tall Tales!
Posted by Amy Gwizdz on March 4, 2013 in Fifth Grade | ∞
In writing we are learning about Tall Tales. Today we discussed exaggeration and superlatives, then read Tall Tales to find examples.
Some examples of exaggeration included: Johnny Appleseed was a fireball of energy! Also, from Paul Bunyan, he combs his hair with a pine tree!
Some examples of superlatives included: from Sluefoot Sue, she was the best rider in the west! From Old Stormalong, the biggest Yankee clipper docked in the harbor!
Ask your fifth grader about Tall Tales!
