The Bunyans

The Bunyans

We read  The Bunyans on pages 726 - 743 in our Storytown book.  This is about Paul Bunyan and his family.  We get to learn what happens to Paul "later in life" and what his other family members are like.   Rereading will be homework.  We completed Storytown vocabulary on workbook page 163.

This story helped us to discuss the elements of a Tall Tale, which is a fictional story that exaggerates the truth.  Tall tales began as campfire stories told by American pioneers.  We read a brief book about Paul Bunyan.  Here's a 15 minute Walt Disney video about Paul Bunyan.
