3HW 's Fable Freeze Frames

3HW have begun their new writing unit on Aesop's Fables. Today we looked at some of the features that fables have and found out who Aesop was. Aesop was an ancient Greek storyteller born around 620 BC and was a slave. He collected stories of animals acting as people. The stories, or fables, have lessons, or morals, and were retold to children during Aesop's life and to people in every generation since. 3HW began to look at one of his fables, 'The Lion and the Mouse'. After studying the text, the children got into pairs to create various freeze frames from the story. Take a look at our freeze frames.
