Aesop's Fable Webquest prem
 
   

PROCESS

 

1.- You will organise in groups of four students. If there is someone who is not matched, form groups of three and the reader will also do the coordinator role.

2.- Firstly, you will do some research about Aesop, what a fable is, and the difference between fables, trickester tales, fairy tales and leyends. To do that you may visit the sites below.

3.- The coordinator will choose three fables and the reader will read them to the group. Choose them from the list below. 

4.- The writer will write a Venn Diagram with the moral, characters and ideas the rest of the group understand from each fable. Suggested questions to be answered:

  • What do these stories have in common?
  • Why do you think Aesop wrote the stories?
  • Why do most of the stories have animals as characters?
  • Who are the characters?
  • What is the problem and solution of the story?
  • What is the moral of the fables?

5.- Now you will have to set up your story.

  • Think about who the characters will be (you, your boss, your teacher, your neightbour, your friends, etc.).
  • Think about where your fable will take place (bus, underground, school, house, street)
  • Think about a real happening that can have the same moral as the fable you have selected previously.

6.- Once you have planned your fable, organize it and write your presentation. The storyteller will practice and become comfortable with it. When ready tell to your friends.
