This lesson plan introduces students to folktales and fairy tales through the story of Little Red Riding Hood. Students will identify settings from the story on a landscape map, learn new vocabulary, and discuss why folktales were popular. Activities include reading the story, making a map, using the map for directions and measuring distances, describing characters, rewriting the story in a modern setting, and discussing other folktales. The goal is for students to understand folktales and appreciate them for their entertainment value.
