Baba Yaga • Homework: Holocaust Artifact Project, due FRIDAY (RYG) • Reading Letter, due Thursday (BLUE) • Lesson Target: I can compare and contrast the themes, patterns of events, character types of modern works, with those of myth, traditional stories, or religious work and determine how they are rendered or interpreted in a new way.

  3. Grammar Warm-Up • Underline the verb in the following sentences, and circle the helping verbs. • I ride the train from Washington, DC to New York City on a weekly basis. • During rush hour, crossing the bridge can take forever! • The driver of the car must have lost control and side swiped a truck.

  4. Journal • After hearing the Aesop fable, The Prince and the Painted Lion the moral lesson/theme of the story.

  5. Fairy Tale • A fairy tale is a story featuring folkloric characters such as fairies, goblins, elves, trolls, giants, and others. These stories often involve princes and princesses, and modern versions usually have a happy ending. Usually fairy tales start with “Once upon a time..” • How many fairy tales have you read? Can you name 3? • Click here for examples: Fairy Tales for children or Fairy Tales by Hans Christian Anderson.

  6. Myth • What is a Myth?Myths deal with ancient stories, such as the adventures of the Greek gods. Mythology is a collection of traditional stories that express the beliefs or values of a group of people. The stories often focus on human qualities such as good and evil. • They are often considered to be sacred and may explain how things came to be. The myths gave human emotions and qualities to the super- natural beings who were the heroes of their stories. These gods and goddesses helped or harmed mankind as they pleased. • Mythweb

  7. Tall Tale A tall tale is a story that has these features: • A larger-than-life, or superhuman, main character with a specific job. • A problem that is solved in a funny way. • Exaggerated details that describe things as greater than they really are. • Characters who use everyday language. Settlers who made their homes in the American wilderness first told tall tales. In those days, before TV and movies, people depended on storytelling for entertainment. After a long day's work, people gathered to tell each other funny tales. Each group of workers- loggers, cowboys, railroad and steel workers-had its own tall-tale hero. Having a superhuman hero with the same job somehow made their lives easier. Perhaps it gave them strength or courage to do their difficult and dangerous work. • Animated Tall Tales • Read about these tall tales: Paul Bunyan, Johnny Appleseed, Pecos Bill

  8. Legend • Legends are set in the present or recent past. Legends are supposedly true and are used to scare, teach, inform, or entertain. Legends are stories that are handed down through generations- usually by word of mouth. Examples: Legend of King Arthur and the Knight’s of the Round Table, Robin Hood, • Legend Website

  9. Urban Legends • A story, which may have started with a grain of truth, that has been embroidered and retold until it has passed into the realm of myth. It is an interesting phenomenon that these stories get spread so far, so fast and so often. • The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs http://www.snopes.com/horrors/madmen/babysit.asp Phone Call from the Grave http://www.snopes.com/horrors/gruesome/phone.asp The Vanishing Hitchhiker http://www.snopes.com/horrors/ghosts/vanish.asp

  10. Fable • Just what is a fable, you ask?  Well, a fable is a kind of story that: • has animal characters that are smart, foolish, sly, or clever • has a  character that plays tricks on other characters • has a character that makes a bad decision • has a moral or a lesson learned • is short, sweet and to the point • Click here to read some of Aesop’s fables. • Click here to watch some animated versions of Aesop’s fables. • Fable Webquest

  14. COMMON GRAMMAR MISTAKES • 1. You’re vs. Your • You are = You’re. For example, “You’re officially part of the club. Congratulations!” • Related to you = Your. For example, “Thank you. Your efforts have undeniably increased our revenue stream”Biggest common mistake: Your welcome. Should be You’re welcome!2. They’re vs. Their vs. ThereThey are = They’re. For example: “They’re joining us for dinner Friday evening, so be sure and purchase enough red and white wine for the entire group” • Belonging to them = Their. For example: “Their dedication was simply remarkable, and I would work with them again in a heartbeat” • Regarding a location = There. For example: “I will leave the envelope over there”3. Lose vs. LooseOpposite of win = Lose. For example: “I have a feeling the Bulls are going to lose this game” • Opposite of tight = Loose. For example: “Please fix the loose handle immediately”4. It’s vs. ItsShort for it is or it has = It’s. For example: “This is going to change the way we view this industry. It’s earth-shattering!”Possessive form of it = Its. For example: “A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on” - Winston Churchill

  15. COMMON GRAMMAR MISTAKES CONTINUED • 5. Effect vs. AffectA result = Effect. For example: “The lighting had a major effect on productivity levels. With more natural light in the room, employees appear more inspired” • To influence = Affect. For example: “The new HR team is affecting employees’ motivation, and the feedback we have been receiving is overwhelmingly positive!” • 6. Alot • This word does not exist What you are trying to say is “a lot” for example, maybe you have a lot of marketing experience. Additionally, it is unprofessional. Try replacing this with words like “ample” or “x years of marketing experience”. 7. Then vs. ThanTime related =Then. For example: “We are looking forward to meeting you then” • Comparison related =Than. For example: “I much prefer to meet in my area, rather than yours, as mine has a wide variety of restaurants and coffee shops. ”Saying “ I have more to then that” to an investor won’t lead to your next round of funding.
