  3. You already know You already know that a fable is a fictional story that features animals, mythical creatures, plants, inanimate objects or forces of nature which are given human qualities. All fables have a pattern running through them in that they illustrate a lesson or a moral.

  4. For Example Human Qualities In Fables No one is too small to help someone bigger… Slow and steady wins the race… An act of kindness is a good investment Humility Trust Confidence Compassion

  5. Task Starters Complete 3 of the 4 • 1. Prioritize 3 reasons the sculptor decided to include the third statue for the same price. • 2. Describe Mercury’s reasoning for the sculptor’s actions. • Describe the story from Mercury’s point of view. • Determine the relevance when the sculptor said he’d throw him in for nothing. Mercury and the Sculptor Mercury was very anxious to know in what estimation he was held by mankind; so he disguised himself as a man and walked into a Sculptor's studio, where there were a number of statues finished and ready for sale. Seeing a statue of Jupiter among the rest, he inquired the price of it. "A crown," said the Sculptor. "Is that all?" said he, laughing; "and" (pointing to one of Juno) "how much is that one?" "That," was the reply, "is half a crown." "And how much might you be wanting for that one over there, now?" he continued, pointing to a statue of himself. "That one?" said the Sculptor; "Oh, I'll throw him in for nothing if you'll buy the other two."

  6. Big IdeaRelated to themes, laws, principals • Put Yourself in Mercury’s winged shoes and be creative in relating your thinking on the following: • Compare/Contrast human characteristics or qualities in Mercury and the sculptor.. (Venn Diagram or a chart) • Identify the lesson or moral in the story. (Create a banner; colorful slogan in your notebook) Be prepared to show your creations to your teacher, a possible small group, or the whole class

Write about a time when you were hurt by someone’s unintentional comments. (in other words comments they actually did not mean; the comments were made without thinking) What did you learn from this experience?
