Assignment #6 Inquiry Square
I like for students to compare fables to what can is real or fantasy. We discuss the different genre's of books and stories. Before, during, and after reading we discuss the title, characters,
setting and the plot or main idea of the story.
We talk about how the characters feelings, actions, motives, and what we can learn from the story. I encourage the students to look for figurative language and sound devices.
We predicate the outcome of the story and how we can learn from other people's mistakes.
We discuss the problem and what caused it, then we write a outcome where the characters learn a lesson. To extend the students knowledge of fables we make stick puppets and act out the story changing characters and outcomes.
Fables can help students to understand that we learn from our mistakes (even as adults).

I like the idea of showing how we can learn from others mistakes. Letting them know the consequences of bad decisions is a good idea. Hopefully, they can learn some of lifes hard lessons. Different types of genre is a great way to expose students to their environment and other cultures and environments. Unfortunately, most students never know or get to experience anything but what is immediately surrounding them.
Fables are an excellent way to teach morals and doing what is right. Teaching fables can also make students think about their actions and consequences.
Fable are great! Group discussion can help others understand what the fable is about. Some students may not quite "get" the meaning and listening to others may help.
