Pourquoi Tales

October 29, 2014

Greetings Fourth Graders,

In class you have been discussing Pourquoi Tales.  Did you know that Pourquoi means "why" in French.  Pourquoi tales are stories that explain why something is the way it is pertaining to nature.

In your class you have read the Pourquoi Tale called How the Kangaroo got its Pouch.  How did the Kangaroo get her pouch? What was the cause and effect?

Watch this video of another Pourquoi Tale called, Why Koala Has a Stumpy Tail. After the video, compare and contrast the two Pourquoi Tales with your class.  Enjoy!
