African American Traditions: Cameroonian and African-American Folktales

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students compare Cameroonian and African-American folktales. In this folktales instructional activity, students participate in a jigsaw activity that requires them to read "The Owl Never Sleeps as Night," "Why the Lizard Often Nods," "Tappin, the Land Turtle" and "The Invisible Tortoise." Students note the parts of the tales that have an American flair and discuss their findings.
