TU FUI EGO ERIS
9/24/15 - 9/25/159/26/2015 We began today's class by going over the literary response questions for Anansi's folktale. Next, we watched a video by a professor of African literature on the craft of storytelling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHeIaDhv2U8 Afterwards, students wrote about these related questions: -What kind of stories are a part of your life? What do these stories bring to your life? -Do you think stories should do more than just entertain? What else should they do in today’s society? We discussed student responses to these questions. Then we watched a video of a storytelling telling a traditional African story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YueSWLem0Nc Then, students responded to these questions: -Does this story remind you of any others you have heard or read? -What is the lesson that Sokufo Seriba learns? -In Baba’s tale, the ruler says, “When you have experienced life’s pain, then you truly know how to sing.” What do you think he means? Do you agree? We discussed student responses, and I handed out the homework. It is attached below. Have a great weekend :)
