- Abstract
- en_US Here is the Student and Teacher Book for this writing and public speaking program. An early page answers What's a Fable? Then the first two units work from fables in each of their lessons. The first unit, Note-Taking, works from GA, The Eagle and the Jackdaw, LM, and The Four Oxen and the Lioness. Unit 2 has lessons working from MM, FS, and The Ass and His Purchaser. A further lesson recommends A Fable Festival for Family and Friends. Fables come up again later in the unit on summarizing references: Aesop the Author. A lesson in the last unit has students write their own fables. I am delighted to see fables used for enjoyable work by students in sharpening their skills. I found several exercises to be right on target, for example the exercise banning some overused modifiers and finding fresher and more specific modifiers. The last page identifies the following five Best Loved Fables in the Western Hemisphere: CP, FG, BW, TH, and The Little Engine That Could. There are some simple black-and-white illustrations and printer's designs along the way.
