Cuéntame: Folklore y fábulas This collection of 12 stories represents the storytelling traditions of 7 Spanish-speaking countries. The stories come from rural and urban areas and from literature and oral traditions. Many of the stories are from indigenous sources and speak of concerns for the natural world, while others are fables with the intention of teaching a lesson. Despite the differences in language and geography, readers are likely to find similarities to well-loved fables from their own backgrounds. El cuento del cuento begins each story with cultural and geographical information. The Comencemos section sets the stage for the tale by preteaching vocabulary and structures. The Leemos section includes activities that focus on visual literacy tied to accompanying illustrations and the Discutimos section involves students in a review of the plot, expressing opinions and participating in a culminating activity or performance assessment.
