Abstract	Providing students with the opportunity to study different cultures increases their global understanding and helps foster tolerance of cultural differences. In this lesson, grade 3-5 students read folk tales from Japan, Wales, and Africa and depict the stories visually for purposes of retelling. Students also research the countries and share a brief synopsis with the class. During four 30-to 35-minute lessons, students will: read cross-cultural folk tales and depict them visually; briefly research countries using the Internet; present folk tales and their research to the class; gain a better understanding about another country and give suggestions for or initiate more in-depth research. 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. A research form and a story sequence form are attached. (PM)
