Welcome Pod 3 Students and Parents!

What's Going On This Week? (1/4-1/8)

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Christmas! This week we will begin a short unit on Folklore. By the end of this unit, students should be able to differentiate between fables, myths, legends, tall tales, folk tales, and fairy tales and describe the distinguishing characteristics of each.  

***See FLASHCARDS for roots/affixes students are to study nightly. 

 WEDNESDAY - fable homework - write a fable that uses the same moral as Aesops's "The Lion and the Bulls" (read in class). Use different characters and a different plot, but the same moral (United we stand; divided we fall). Fables are very short stories, so this homework assignment doesn't need to be more than half a page.
