Fables… …a story that teaches a lesson …characters are animals …animals talk
Fable ElementsMany things to think about before writing a fable! • Moral – a lesson! • Animal • Animals’ names • Setting • Introducing the animals/characters • Dialogue between characters • Sequencing events of the story • Conclusion of a story/moral
Remember:a moral is a life long lesson! Life Long Lesson Morals Do to others as you would like them to do to you. Cheaters never win. Don’t judge a book by its cover. Good Lessons – But not considered a life long lesson or moral. Pick up trash on the road. Brush your teeth three times a day. Don’t hit your brother or sister.
Choosing Your Animals • Animals should “go with the moral” • Often a “good guy/bad guy relationship” • Often they are “natural enemies” • Personification: animals take on human characteristics. Good Guy/Bad Guy Mouse/Snake Natural Enemies Cat/Dog Bad Animals Snake/Shark/Bear/Lion/Rat Good Animals Bunny/Mouse/Kitten/Cow
