Fabulous fables

on February 23, 2011

Tortoise & hareMrs. Brown’s fifth graders are learning about fables.  They visited the library on Tuesday for a presentation on this form of traditional literature.  Several fables were shared to illustrate the typical fable’s characteristics: brief story, few characters, simple setting, lesson about human behavior, and a moral stated at the end.  Samples from three major sources of fables [Aesop (Greece), the Panchatantra (India), and LaFontaine (France)] were shared.
