Aesops's fables are a collection of short stories that use animals to explain a moral to the reader. A moral is a lesson about behavior that explains right and wrong. In this project, 1st graders read a series of fables and then made a diorama demonstrating one of them. The students not only got to read some wonderful tales, they also learned many useful lessons about life.
