Narrative (Fiction)

At least one reading selection on the literacy test will be a narrative. In other words, it will be some sort of story. It is important to know you are reading a story (as opposed to non-fiction) because it changes how you read.

Take a few minutes to read several (3 to 5) of Aesop's Fables. Then answer the following questions on your blog:

1) Which fables did you read?

2) Which one did you enjoy the most? Explain why.

3) Compare the fable, a short narrative, to a news report. What is the same and what is diffferent?

4) How important is the dialogue? Would you rather read description or dialogue? Explain why.

5) Would you be interested in reading more fables? Why or why not?
