(Thanks to Clare Pechon, Independence, Lousiana) for voc slides.

Question of the Day What do you think is the most amazing event in “The Bunyans”? Why?

Read Aloud Today you will be listening to a tall tale about Paul Bunyan and the Mississippi River. A tall tale is a humorous story that usually includes: Events that could not happen in real life. Exaggerations about strength and abilities of the main character. As I continue to read “The Six Mississippis” listen to find out what brilliant idea Paul had when he saw the two Mississippis joined together.
