Genre Definitions

[Jo Ann <joloberg@BITSTREAM.NET>]

Hi everyone,

I am working on a lesson teaching Tall Tales to our fourth graders.  Does
anyone have the definitions of a Tall Tale versus a Folktale, Fairytale,
Legend, Myth etc.  I could probably muddle through with my current
knowledge, but it would be nice to accurate and detailed in the lesson.

Maybe there is a source I have not discovered?

Thanks in advance.

Jo
