Biome Research and Folktale Writing Project

Your child is researching a biome (rainforest, ocean, or desert) in class and in the media center. We used both print and on-line resources to gather information.

You can support your child by continuing to research their biome at home.

Students will then be creating their own version of a popular folktale set in their specific biome. For example, if they researched the arctic tundra, instead The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf, they could tell the story of The Three Little Arctic Foxes and the Big Bad Polar Bear.
