"Coyote and the Rock" is a Northwestern Band of Shoshone Nation tale. Many Native American tribes have "Coyote Stories." Coyote stories are traditionally only told in the winter season. Coyote stories are meant to entertain or instruct, or both. After reading the story students will create a "living picture" called a Tableau. A tableau is a representation of a dramatic scene by a person or group, posing silently without moving. In art, tableaus can be seen in the theater when a stage picute shows silent, still, costumed actor in poses creating a scene. Tableaus allows teachers to engage students with multiple learning styles. It can serve as an assessment tool when students "show what they know" as a frozen picture. Tableau can support literacy when used to comprehend text and analyze literary elements such as character, plot, them, conflict and resolution. Tableaus also supports cooperative learning environments.
This is a lesson plan using a cute story called "The Bear Snores On." In the story, the bear hibernates, and other animals join him in his den. While he sleeps the animals warm themselves by a fire and eat treats. The bear eventually wakes up and scares the other animals. They offer him treats and he joins in their winter party. Eventually the other animals get sleepy and the bear is awake. The story is a springboard for a discussion about hibernation. The lesson is meant for younger children who don't need a lot of information about hibernation, just a brief introduction. Image is a still shot from https://youtu.be/OhrhcsICrE8.
