Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

The raven is the focus of a lesson that examines trickster tales and the different stories about the bird. After listening to three tales about the raven, scholars pinpoint and discuss descriptive words. Pupils use one story to illustrate and read aloud to the class or create an acrostic poem.
