Aesops Fables Rewritten

Directions: In your groups OR individually, rewrite two of Aesops fables by having the character(s) hold true to
whichever characteristic you identified them to be lacking in the original fable. For example, if you identified that the Fox in
The Donkey, The Fox, and The Lion was not loyal, was dishonest, or selfish you will rewrite the fable so that the Fox is
loyal, honest and selfless. How will this change of character impact the outcome of the fable? Its up to you to decide.
Requirements: It must be evident in your rewritten fable which characteristic you are adding to the character(s) and how
that characteristic shapes the new outcome of the fable.
