Description
This unit provides tons of information and four activities on these American folklore legends: Paul Bunyan, Pecos Bill, John Henry, and Johnny Appleseed.
Students discover the legends of these characters as well as some historical background knowledge surrounding them. My students love learning these far-fetched stories, an often forgotten piece of American History.
This unit works great as a stand-alone unit in American History, cross-curricular activities with ELA, or can be used in a variety of other ways!
