There is a 2 pager story for each of the Tall Tales.
Each Tall Tale also comes with the chart below and several activities to go along with each person. I unfortunately can't share all the activities we did, because I sent them home already!
These coloring pages did not come from the Evan Moor Unit, but I just had to include them. Second graders love coloring. I found them at this website:
The coloring page of Davy Crockett is from http://www.education.com/worksheet/article/color-davy-crockett
I created this little thinking map to go along with Paul Bunyan. You can get it for free here.
One of the activities in the Literature Pocket Tall Tale Unit was a simile activity. We simply cut the boxes apart on the worksheet and attached the pieces to a sentence strip. It was a great opportunity to talk about similes, while learning about Tall Tales. The picture of Paul Bunyan came from the coloring page document I linked to above.
This is a picture of Evan Moor's Book, in case you are interested. It truly is a super resource.
We decided to use the following Tall Tale characters in our unit:
* Pecos Bill
* Slue-Foot Sue
* Paul Bunyan
* Davy Crockett
We finished up, by completing this Tall Tale writing piece. You can click on the image below to download it for free.

Thanks! These are super cute. Can't wait til we do Tall Tale Characters.
