First quarter in my senior English classes, we are studying Medieval Literature. As part of this unit, we studied "Federigo's Falcon" from the Decameron.
Examples 1 & 2:
These examples are hard to read, but the assignment was effective. After reading the short story, the students were assigned to ANALYZE the story. They had to tell me what they believed the main message of the story was and give specific examples to demonstrate their understanding. They also had to include a picture that was either literal or symbolic of what they wrote about.
We then compared/contrasted the falcon in "Federigo's Falcon" to the eagle in the Aesop Fable, "The Eagle and the Beetle".
