 * ** WRAP-UP/Present: Small Group Fables/Trickster Tales Research Project: ** Students will read a variety of trickster tales from various cultures. They will choose one of the cultures to research, write a report about and present to the class. Give small groups of students the following prompt: “Research a culture that tells trickster tales. Generate questions related to the culture and assign a person to research each question. Create a book or multimedia presentation to communicate your findings.” (W.3.6, W.3.7, W.3.8) (EC, IC, S, RD)(S/D, S/N, CL, CQO)
 * ** WRAP-UP/Present: ** **Fables/Trickster Tales Writing Project:** Have students research online one of the following cultures: **(1) African American slave culture (2) European culture (choose specific country) (3) Native American (Plains) culture (4) Andes Mountain** to get background for fables and trickster tales which they will write. Remind students that most Trickster Tales have animals with personification. After students have completed their online research, have them choose an animal for their tale, draw the animal, and describe the animal’s human features. Decide whether you will create a class book or a multi-media presentation based on the culture research and the Trickster Tales each student writes. (EC, IC, S, RD)(S/D, S/N, CL, CQO)
 * When the students have finished their research, create a class book or multimedia presentation to show what they have learned about the culture. When you are finished, ask (for example) “Why did create trickster stories to tell to their children?” This activity will be repeated with the other cultures from which trickster stories came.**(**W.3.6, W.3.7, W.3.8)
