What we'll do
Today we are going to read some Anansi The Spider tales from Africa, and write a biopoem when we're done.
Let's explore
NOTE: This webquest may take a little longer since you need to read three online stories. Use the checklist at the computer table to show what you have completed in case you are called away and have to come back.
1. Read the story Anansi And The Firefly here.
2. Read the story Anansi Tries to Steal All the Wisdom in the World here.
3. Read the story Anansi and The Turtle here.
4. Which story did you like best? Talk about it with your buddy.
5. Now let's create a biopoem about Anansi. A biopoem is a poem that tells about the characteristics of a character or person, in this case, Anansi.
Go here to find the format for the biopoem. Look at this while you create your poem together with your buddy.
Use the form on the table to write the poem.
6. You're finished! Turn your poem in to Mrs. Hood. We will get them typed and use them for stage decoration when we do our play!
