Kirikou et des contes - Anne Mueller | Library

Week 1: This week we will be reviewing folktales and discussing their importance to culture. Our driving questions are: What folktales define our own cultures? What do these folktales tell us about our culture?

For the following images, try to identify the folk tale. If you don't know it, you can skip it.

Even if you don't recognize the images above, please respond to the following question.

1

Quels adjectifs décrivent les personnes/animaux dans les images? Notez un minimum de 10 adjectifs.

Now go on Flipgrid and share with the class a Folklore that you are familiar with. It's okay if you need to look up a little information to fill in the details. 

1

Using the folklore you describe on Flipgrid, décrivez deux personnages (characters) du conte (folklore). Comment sont-ils (physiquemment et personnalité)?

Time to go back to Flipgrid and share the morals of your folklore. What are you supposed to learn from the story? En anglais.

1

For this question, I would like you to describe the morals of your story in French. Use the following frameworks:

Il est important d'être + adjectif EX: Il est important d'être généreux
Il est important de + verbe EX: Il est important d'étudier

Try to write at least 5 sentences and use each framework at least once.

Respond to the morals video that one of your classmates posted on Flipgrid. Respond in French and compare the morals. Some helpful phrases:
Pour toi et ton conte, il est important de...
Pour moi, il n'est pas important de...
Pour moi, il est aussi important de...
Je n'ai pas cette leçon dans mon conte. J'ai une autre leçon. C'est qu'il est important de....

On Flipgrid, respond to the following questions in English. What do the lessons of your folktale tell us about American culture (or the culture it comes from)? Do you think modern American (or other cultural) standards/norms still represent these lessons? 

I know...this was a lot of FlipGrid work, but it will prepare you for our TALK on the importance of Folktales and nationality.
