This lesson supports English Language Learners through and interdisciplinary integration of Civics (Culture and Folklore, English Language Arts, and STEAM Education guided by the WIDA, CCSS, and NGSS, and the Kallaloo Framework.

This module focuses on a deep study of the classic tale Peter Pan. Students will consider the guiding question: How do writers capture a reader’s imagination?

In this eight-week module, students explore the questions: “Who is the wolf in fiction?” and “Who is the wolf in fact?” They begin by analyzing how the wolf is characterized in traditional stories, folktales, and fables. Then they research real wolves by reading informational text. Finally, for their performance task, students combine their knowledge of narratives with their research on wolves to write a realistic narrative about wolves.

This worksheet was created to give students practice exploring new vocabulary terms using Journeys vocabulary cards. It can be used by any grade with students working independently or in groups. Students working in groups can present their work to work to the class. They may also compete as to which group can complete the most words within a set period of time.
