  1. Do Now- February 8th, 2012 • Grab the handouts, your notebook, and please have a seat in your groups. • Discuss the following with your group: “What is the difference between ethics and morals?” Be prepared to share!

  2. Literary Terminology Odyssey Day 2: Aesop’s Fables

  3. Quick reminder • I received word from the administration that there is a school-wide no headphone, no cell phone policy. I was not aware of this until yesterday, so I do apologize that we have to change things in the middle of the semester. • Please keep you cell phones away and earphones out. I do not want this to become an issue.

  4. Objectives • Students read and respond to selected fables on the basis of their predetermined literary elements • SWBAT recognize the biases, assumptions, and morals within each reading selection

  5. Who was Aesop? • Lived in the 6th Century B.C.E-- over 2500 years ago! • Born in ancient Greece as a slave. • Had two masters before he was freed because of his wit and intelligence

  6. Who was Aesop (continued) • Due to the popularity of his stories, he was offered a position in the court of Lydia by King Croesus– highly unusual • Aesop’s stories are what is known as fables • Though, as in William Shakespeare’s case, many stories may not have been written by only Aesop.

  7. What is a fable? • Fable/- a short tale to teach a moral lesson, often with animals or inanimate objects as characters • Morals, ethics, principles = “good” citizen

  8. With all that in mind… • Read the selected fables in your small groups • Complete the comprehension questions as a small group • The room should be very quiet so that everyone can work

  9. D.O.L • Individually, write three quiz questions based on your assigned literary term • Remember: Short answer or multiple choice format only
