Th e aim is to develop Speaking, Listening, Viewing and Reading with ‘purpose, understanding and critical awareness’ and Writing ‘for a range of purposes using appropriate forms and conventions’. Th e stories themselves will be a source of great enjoyment to the children and could, through a thematic approach, be used to cover other areas of the school curriculum A few suggestions are: • Developing Speaking and Listening skills through role-play. • Reading for pleasure. • Children’s viewpoints on moral values related to social behaviour. • Research based on ‘What children would like to fi nd out’. • Art and Craft activities. Outcome Statements Outcome statements have been included on the bottom of each activity page, so that teachers can link the activities with required outcomes as set down in relevant syllabus documents and curriculum frameworks. Page 4 Defi nitions of Grammatical Terms Th e words in the English language are classifi ed as parts of speech and are named according to the work they do.

Verbs – ‘doing’ words or words which show action. Pronouns – words which take the place of nouns. Adjectives – words that describe nouns or pronouns. Adverbs – words that modify verbs, adjectives or other adverbs. Prepositions – the fi rst word of a phrase, showing the relation between one thing and another. Conjunctions – ‘joining words’.

Page 5 • AESOP’S FABLES • Th e Wolf and the Ass OOncence Ass was feeding peacefully in a meadow. On turning UUponpon a around he noticed Wolf moving about very slyly among ttimeime the dark trees nearby. Knowing that Wolf was waiting for a chance to make a meal of him, Ass quickly thought of a clever plan to save himself from certain death. Ass pretended to be lame. He began to hobble about and limp. He dragged one hind leg as if in great pain. Wolf came up to Ass, ready for the kill. “Wait a moment, Wolf,” said Ass trying to be brave. “Before you kill me and make a meal of me, help to get out this large thorn sticking in my foot.” “Tell me why should I do that, Ass?” asked Wolf. “I was only thinking of your good, Wolf,” answered Ass. “Go ahead and eat me but don’t blame me if you get that terrible thorn stuck in your throat!” “Now that you mention it, I think I will be better to get the thorn out,” said Wolf, coming closer. Ass lifted his hind foot and as Wolf bent down to pull out the supposed thorn, he gave him one very hard kick right in the middle of his forehead. Wolf fl ipped over backwards and by the time he picked himself up Ass had bolted across the meadow and out of sight. Wolf, dazed from the awful pain in his head, went the other way, ashamed at being tricked by an ass. – Moral: Don’t believe all that you see and hear. – Page 6 • AESOP’S FABLES • Th e Wolf and the Ass Activity 1 A sentence that states a fact is called a statement.

Aesop’s Fables The Cock and the Pearl A cock was once strutting up and down the farmyard among the hens when suddenly he espied something shinning amid the straw. ‘Ho! ho!’ quoth he, ‘that’s for me,’ and soon rooted it out from beneath the straw. What did it turn out to be but a Pearl that by some chance had been lost in the yard? ‘You may be a treasure,’ quoth Master Cock, ‘to men that prize you, but for me I would rather have a single barley-corn than a peck of pearls.’ Precious things are for those that can prize them. 2 of 93 eBook brought to you by Aesop’s Fables Create, view, and edit PDF.

The Wolf and the Lamb Once upon a time a Wolf was lapping at a spring on a hillside, when, looking up, what should he see but a Lamb just beginning to drink a little lower down. ‘There’s my supper,’ thought he, ‘if only I can find some excuse to seize it.’ Then he called out to the Lamb, ‘How dare you muddle the water from which I am drinking?’ ‘Nay, master, nay,’ said Lambikin; ‘if the water be muddy up there, I cannot be the cause of it, for it runs down from you to me.’ ‘Well, then,’ said the Wolf, ‘why did you call me bad names this time last year?’ ‘That cannot be,’ said the Lamb; ‘I am only six months old.’ ‘I don’t care,’ snarled the Wolf; ‘if it was not you it was your father;’ and with that he rushed upon the poor little Lamb and .WARRA WARRA WARRA WARRA WARRA .ate her all up.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles the Fabulist in the Fable
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Fabulist in the Fable Book A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Classics by Kristin Leilani Mann 2015 © Copyright by Kristin Leilani Mann 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERETATION The Fabulist in the Fable Book by Kristin Leilani Mann Doctor of Philosophy in Classics University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Kathryn Anne Morgan, Co-Chair Professor Amy Ellen Richlin, Co-Chair Four fable books survive from Greco-Roman antiquity: (1) the Life and Fables of Aesop (1st-2nd century CE), a collection of Greek prose fables; (2) Phaedrus’s Fabulae Aesopiae (1st century CE), a collection of Latin verse fables; (3) Babrius’s Μυθίαμβοι Αἰσώπειοι (1st century CE), a collection of Greek verse fables; and (4) Avianus’s Fabulae (4th-5th century CE), a collection of Latin verse fables. The thesis of this dissertation is that in each of these fable collections, the fabulist’s presence in the fable book – his biography, his self-characterizations, and his statements of purpose – combine to form a hermeneutic frame through which the fables may be interpreted. Such a frame is necessary because the fable genre is by nature multivalent: fables may be interpreted in many different ways, depending on their context. For embedded fables (that is, fables embedded in a larger narrative or speech), the fable’s immediate context influences the fable’s interpretation. In the fable books, however, there is no literary context; the ii fables stand as isolated narratives. The fabulist himself, I argue, takes the place of this missing context, and thus provides the reader with an interpretive framework.

    WITHIN THE COLLECTION A LOOK INSIDE THE FORT VANCOUVER MUSEUM Ceramics: Spode Transferware NCRI Curation Series No. 6 i Ceramics: Spode Transferware by Robert J. Cromwell Theresa Langford Photos by Troy Wayrynen Design by Jane Vanderzanden TU iv Introduction By Robert J. Cromwell, Ph.D. Fort Vancouver National Historic Site After nearly 20 years of conducting research on archaeological sites associated with the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC), it is easy for me to state that ceramic sherds manufactured by the Spode/ Copeland & Garrett/W.T. Copeland & Sons (from here on, Spode) are one of my favorite to discover and analyze. My 2006 Ph.D. dissertation was a socioeconomic analysis of Spode ceramic sherds recovered from both Fort Vancouver and its associated employee village. During the many thousands of research hours I have conducted at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, some of my best have been spent analyzing Spode transfer wares. Other staff members at the site have even given me the nickname of the “Sherd Nerd,” which I gladly answer to! It has been with great pleasure that I’ve assisted with the production of this publication; it is the culmination of a career-long dream to help develop such a guide to the archaeological Spode ceramics here. As an archaeologist, I have been trained to see artifacts as imbued with elements of culture, in that they capture both symbolic and actual components of the past people who made and used them. I like to say that, of all the artifacts commonly discovered at Fort Vancouver, the ceramic wares – and specifically the Spode ceramic wares – are veritably “dripping with culture.” Very few other artifact types in the massive archaeological collection of over 2 million items can tell us as much about the past as even a diminutive ceramic sherd.
