Carol Harper and Pat Burdette of Bustoz Elementary School with "Stretching Harcourt- The Art of Literacy for Third Grade: Extensions that Engage Students" Stretching Harcourt is a group of activities that extend each story in the Harcourt reading series.

Third, fourth and fifth graders donned West African story hats as they began their year-long adventure in lessons of cultural diversity, universal morality, mathematical activities and folk art. The students studied the art of storytelling and its oral tradition. Students created "story hats" that represented a West African tradition and even learned five regional stories from around the world.
