1. Let's remember some concepts about literature and types of written works. Match the word to its definition. There is one extra word you don't need. Then, could you give examples of each one?
Tale / Myth / Fable / Legend
a. "A short story, typically with animals as characters, conveying a moral" (by Oxford Dictionary)
b. "A traditional story sometimes popularly regarded as historical but not authenticated." (by Oxford Dictionary)
c. "A usually imaginative narrative of an event" (by Merriam Webster)
d. "Traditional story, especially one concerning the early history of a people or explaining a natural or social phenomenon, and typically involving supernatural beings or events" (by Oxford Dictionary)
Key 1: tale (c) / fable (a) / legend (b) / myth (d)
2. Project:
In groups, invent you own tale or fable. In order to start, think about the characteristics of these types of written works as well as the key elements of your story (characters, setting, plot, moral, ...)
