Programs
March 2, 2020 10:00am - 11:00am
Participate in Read Across America Day and register your classroom for this FREE special one-time videoconference program geared toward grades K-5.
What makes a story a tall tale? What are the characteristics of that genre? A Museum Educator will lead students in a discussion about the literary elements of a tall tale. The book, "Pecos Bill Invents the Ten-Gallon Hat" will be read aloud with an opportunity for discussion afterwards. During the discussion, students will evaluate the Tall Tale genre and determine whether this story fits the criteria.
