Fable Maker

Fable Maker is a sit-down, individual writing activity.

Directions
Explore the concept of fables with the kids. Most fables attempt to explain this through story: "How The Fox Turned Red", "Why The Sun Sets", "Why The Snake Sheds Its Skin", etc. Have each student come up with such a title for their fable, and then have them write it, emphasizing the fable genre's reliance on fantasy and mystical elements.
