Russian Book Club for Bilingual / Russian Speakers: Folk Tales.

In this class, we will read and discuss four Russian Folk Tales. We will read for pleasure, practice reading Russian, look at new words and see what they mean in context, discuss future plot developments and do some reading at home as well. We will look at the word choice as well as the moral of the story in each folk tale. Prepare to read some unusual folk tales that you might not have heard before!

In class, we will read the story using popcorn style reading, we will discuss what is happening and look at words that learners might not understand. Children get to share what they think about the story and voice their predictions for the plot development.
