Swamp Angel
This week second grade listened to the adventurous story of Angelica Longrider. This is a fun twist on a legend like Paul Bunyan. The student will love listening to the amazing feats of this tall-tale heroine that takes place in the Appalachian region.
First, we studied the cover art and discovered how the illustrations suggested that this story was a Tall Tale. Then, I asked the class if they knew what a swamp was and why the book was titled "Swamp Angel". This story elicits a lot of giggles and is a great tie-in to their tall tale unit. Click on the activities link below to accompany the book. The students enjoyed seeing the constellation of Ursa Major, or "Great Bear" on the Smart Board.
