It is also important forchildren to learn to appreciate the cultures that their friends bring to school. More importantly, thestories are a way for children to connect with their home culture, by sharing the storieswith their families and bringing in stories that they hear at home. Students will learn about folktales by retelling stories and creating their ownversion of a folktale.One purpose of this lesson is to teach about folktales as a genre. I’ll read folktales from each of the cultures inthe group. Next, thechildren read other versions of the story, comparing and contrasting versions and learningabout folktales as a genre.In my ESL group, most of the children are from Mexico and El Salvador, a few fromWest Africa, and one or two from Somalia.
