Final Weeks!

As we finish up the school year, we will be reflecting on what we learned and creating something unique to show it.

Specifically, we will be looking at fables from a variety of cultures and seeing what lessons are taught in each. StoryArts website has a giant list of fables to choose from.

After analyzing a few, you will create your own - and the lesson will be based on something you learned this year. It could be a fact that stuck with you, a concept that your finally understand, or a personal challenge that you overcame.

You will have choice in your final product: your fable could be in the form of a short story, a story board/comic, a puppet show, a skit, a rap, or a poem. If you have a better idea, you could share that with me too!

I can't wait to hear about your biggest learning and seeing how creatively you share it!
