Animal Stories Around the World

After reviewing how animals are symbolized in aboriginal stories, Division 9 students began to read Tales, Fables, from around the world. Many of these resources came from the DLRC and included tales from Japan, Asia, Cree, Korea, Middle East, Europe and stories and tales from Latin America, including a Bilingual Picture Book kit. The learning goal was for students to see how animals are portrayed in various cultures.  After working through a reading book gallery series, students selected a story they wanted to retell.  Students then explained the role their animal played in their tales.
