These legends are super engaging and entertaining! This product worked really well with our fables, fairytales, and tall tales unit.

The students couldn’t put down the reading; they wanted more. They learned a lot and had many questions about Legends.

Great set! I always buy the resources when they are $1 deals and I never regret it! I tutor K-5, so I can never have enough resources!

This is a time saver for sure- and the formats for responses were what I really needed students to work on. (Venn diagrams for example) I am a folklore fan though and some of these did not really fit the description of legends- more like a summary of related stories or were a bit general- if you are looking for more cultural content you may need to be selective in which ones you use. They are all really appropriate for young students in gen ed.

This is a great resource whether you are just teaching legends or for students to work on independently. They really enjoyed it!
