The Process     To begin, read some of the fables that Aesop wrote and list what is in common in all of his fables. Then complete the chart with four of your favorites. Please use the link below!Aesop's Fables Next, gather some interesting facts about Aesop. In your own words, write some important facts on a Word document. You should include information on where and when he lived, his family background, and education. Save this document as "Notes on Aesop." You will use these notes to create a short biography about him. http://www.2020site.org/aesop/aesop.html You will need to choose one of the fables to recreate in your own adaptation in the present time. Fill out the prewriting handout before you begin drafting your tale. It must be approved and initialed by your teacher before you begin drafting. Write your first draft of the fable. Proofread! Share it with a partner/teacher/parent to see if all the guidelines are met and if it is grammatically correct. Revise draft. Type the final draft using a normal black font (such as Times), size 12, & double-spaced. Include your full heading (full name, date, and class). It should be no more than one full typed page. Illustrate the fable with at least three color drawings. (you may have more if desired) Create a Power Point presentation of the fable.
