Native American Folktale Read Aloud - Coyote Steals the Blanket -Readers Theater

Explore Utah Ute Native American Fables and Folktales with book extension activities for a fun-filled favorite Coyote Trickster Tale by Janet Stevens with Coyote not learning his lesson yet again. Retelling, sequencing, readers' theater, and vocabulary all provide a review of story elements in the library or classroom. THE BOOK IS NOT INCLUDED.

After an initial reading of this great story (check your library), your students will LOVE retelling using the character puppets. And they will all join in repeating the onomatopoeias. Story Elements and Sequencing will come naturally with the events that lead up to the culminating moral of the story. A performance using the Reader's Theater will provide an interactive end to a fun fable and folktale unit.

Here is what is included:

• 8 pictured cards for puppet retelling and reader's theater
• 6 vocabulary word cards to match the characters
• 12 sentence strips for sequencing the elements and events of the story with numbers (color & b/w)
• 8 cards for story parts and story elements
• Anchor chart activities to study Story Elements, Onomatopoeia, and Moral of the Story
• 9-page booklet to make a fun, simple-to-read Reader's Theater script to retell the story
• Display sign for other Coyote Tales
• Bonus: Coyote 'Wanted' poster to use as a creative and descriptive writing activity

What some other buyers have said...

• ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This was the last story that we read/activity that we did during our end-of-the-year fables and folktales unit. My students were highly engaged by the story, and I love that they were all able to participate in the reader's theatre with half as readers and half as puppeteers."
• ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Excellent! I appreciate the Reader's Theater script being in book form."
