In our second unit, Fables, we learned about the cultural morals and background of stories told around the world. We learned what and how symbolism and symbols are used in stories. We also learned how authors use stereotypical characteristics of animals to help readers recognize and identify a character. We learned about the different types of characters there are within a story. For this AP, we had to create our own fable.

Hello! My first Humanities class of the year is Stories. In this class, we learned about etiologies, adjectives, adverbs, similes, metaphors, sentence structure, and proper grammar. To prepare for this class, over the summer we read Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston. We also had our first FE where storyteller came to talk to us about descriptive writing and how we could better our AP's through storytelling. For our second FE, we visited the Field Museum and learned about the origin stories within other cultures at the museum. For our first AP, we were tasked with creating our very own etiology stories. We are doing this AP to show our understanding of etiologies and storytelling as well as proper grammar and sentence structure. I hope you enjoy my story as much as I do!
