Abstract	This folktale unit supports 6th- through 8th-grade students exploration of the many subgenres of folktales: trickster tales, fairy tales, fables, tall tales, and legends. The unit focuses heavily on the use of technology as a learning tool as students work together to create WebQuests for their peers to explore. During the 10 one-hour sessions, students will: discover the elements of fiction as they apply to folktales, including plot, setting, character, length, purpose, and audience; research existing WebQuests in order to understand the format as well as the style in which they are written; take ownership in their project by writing an essential question around which their WebQuest will be built; offer differentiated culminating activities; design rubrics on which the culminating activities will be graded; write the Task, Process, Evaluation, and Conclusion of their activities; research links that will help WebQuest participants reach the desired outcomes; analyze their website links based on quality, content, usability, and appearance; and design, publish, and implement their own WebQuests that center around essential questions. The instructional plan, lists of resources, student assessment/reflection activities, and a list of National Council of Teachers of English/International Reading Association (NCTE/IRA) Standards addressed in the lesson are included. An Internet documentation form and a rubric for WebQuest building groups are attached. (RS)
