Main Lessons for Homeschoolers

Animal Legends
(a 2nd Grade Language Arts Block)

by Donna Simmons

Everything you need to put together an animal legends main lesson. Includes full color pictures.
40 pages,
8½"x11", spiral bound - $22

Here is the second of our second grade language arts main lessons (the other being Saints and Heroes). These are morality tales, tales which carry important lessons for children as they seek to find their own relationship to good and evil and to the nuances of human interaction. Never moralizing, these short stories, many from Aesop's or the Buddhist Jataka tales, are satisfying in their simplicity and timelessness.

The 10 stories included are:

The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse
The Wise Goat and the Wolves
The Tortoise and the Hare
The Hungry Fox
Rabbit's Money Crop
The Wolf and the Lamb
Foolish Words
The Mouse and the Lion
The Hare and the Crocodile
The Old Man and the Bear

Each story includes a related activity and most also include instructions or helpful line drawings. Five full color main lesson book pictures with sample writing are also included (see sample page) as well as guidance on how to create a main lesson book. There are two further sections on expectations around writing and drawing and guidance on telling stories (see sample page).
