Summary Note "'Investigating Aesop's fables' is an engaging, stimulating and challenging resource for junior secondary students which will help teachers implement the Australian Curriculum: English in an integrated and thoughtful way. In the course of this unit of work, students investigate what makes a fable a fable, the relationship between Aesop's fables and the society in which they were produced and circulated, and the ways in which one particular fable, 'The ant and the grasshopper', has been told and retold over the years, by writers and visual artists as various as Jean de La Fontaine, Gustave Doré, Walt Disney, Somerset Maugham and John Ciardi. A diverse range of other texts is included, from a World War I propaganda poster to a political blog. An Assessment Task providing clear evidence of students' achievement is also included." - Back cover.
