Abstract | The genre of tall tales is characterized by fictional, often intentionally ridiculous, stories that provide a reason for or origin of a natural phenomenon. Tall tales are often based on characters who are unusually adept or powerful; they are particularly appealing to children who are cognitively capable of understanding the tongue-in-cheek humor associated with the antics and absurd claims of its characters. In this article, the author introduces teachers to three writing activities inspired by this unique genre. (Contains 1 figure.) (ERIC). |
