About this book
Mix and Match
Have students write fables in which a character from one Aesop fable switches places with a character from another Aesop fable. Have them imagine the ants trying to get the grapes, or the fox fiddling while the grasshopper works. Students can illustrate their rewritten fables.
File a Fable Idea
Have students keep a record in their Journals of observations or words of advice that could be expressed as a fable. Suggest that they look for ideas in their everyday experiences. Have students use the best of their collected ideas to write a fable.
