What is a proverb? This is the leading question of this resource. First, explore proverbs and their meanings. Then, read aloud The Hidden Feast: A Folktale from the American South by Martha Hamilton and Mitch Weiss and partake in a grand discussion retelling key details and making interpretations. Finally, follow up the activity by reviewing collective nouns, reading Aesop’s Fables, Thirty-Three Multicultural Tales to Tell, and create proverbs.
