Fable Project Requirements

Click here for the introduction presentation.
1. Choose a fable with a moral that is personally meaningful to you from www.aesopfables.com

• Or a fairey tale, or myth
• Offline sources (books) are okay – especially if the computers don’t work

2. Summarize the fable and cite your source: MLA Format (CLICK HERE for a citation generator)

• Several sentences is fine.

3. Write down the fable’s moral. Rewrite the fable into your own language (so it doesn’t sound out-dated)

• Or… write your own fable that uses the same moral…
• Your fable should be ½ - 1 page in length

Here is an example of what this written portion should look like: Click Here

When you are finished typing your story email it to Mr. Brandt: mbrandt@d49.org

After you have finished the written requirements you will begin working with sculpey and mixed media to create a scene from your fable. For examples of past student work click here.
