| Self evaluation |
Most of the students understand and can recognize the characteristics of fairy tales. Most could read independently with support of partners. Most still need the graphic to remind them of all the elements used to analyze and most still need the Venn to help them compare and contrast. I would like to try another genre: tall tale or myth. |
