Lesson Objectives - Students will start their next story, "The Richer, the Poorer." We will compare this story, a modern fable, to its traditional fable version. Students will begin designing the format and brainstorming the content of their next group project: create an original modern or traditional fable.
Homework - Answer the following in a paragraph: "Think of a family member. In what ways are you similar to that person? How are you different? How can family members use their differences to help one another grow?"
