“Folktales and Ecology: Animals and Humans in Cooperation and Conflict” are three classroom activities where students analyze the important role animals play in traditional myths and folktales around the world. Then students relate that importance to animals’ ecological significance. These activities are useful for teaching folktales, world cultures, and reading informational texts.
