Soc 3/4: Jan 31 Creating legends…

  1. Students talked about the legends we read together last class. These were stories Aboriginal people traditionally told to their children to educate them about different aspects of their world. Often times, these stories created an origin for where things came from or why something existed the way it did. The kids paired up into groups and tried to create their own legends that had to do four things:
    1. Include characters with names that were either people, animals, or parts of nature.
    2. Have a lesson or moral that was to be learned.
    3. Show how something came to be a certain way or where it came from.
    4. Have a problem or complication that is eventually solved by the end of the legend.
  2. They worked together in these groups writing their legends and drawing symbols / pictures to go with them. They will eventually act out their legends. They did a great job of working on these stories.
