Aesop's Fable - The Tiger King


Aesop's Fable - The Tiger King

Fables are about animals that can talk and act like people, or plants or forces of nature like thunder or wind. The plants may be able to move and also talk and the natural forces cause things to happen in the story because of their strength.The most famous fables were written by a man called Aesop. We know them as Aesop’s Fables, and he wrote more than 600 of them. Here, I would like to share a video on The Tiger King, which is so funny. A tiger has played humurous role in the story and makes fool of himself.It sure will arouse the students' attention and make sure that they able to learn something from it. The students can act out the story in the class as it is so easy to do so.
At the same time, the stories in the fable able to extand students understandings . They able to analyse the moral values and talk about the structure of the fables itself. They even can create a new ending for the fable that they read which will make them to think creatively and citically.Besides, they even may write a fable own their own after having reading a collection of fables.Isn't that wonderful! I think, that's what the aim of every educator. I have included some interesting websites address for you to share the activities that can be carried out by using fables or folktales.
