Aesop: Fact or Myth?
WebQuest by Emily Harmon
WelcomeWelcome: Aesop: Fact or Myth?
Description: Welcome to Ms. Harmon's Aesop WebQuest! I am a college student, studying elementary education, at Marshall University, and I am very excited about education. This WebQuest is designed for a 3rd grade classroom.
Grade Level: 3-5
Curriculum: English / Language Arts
Author: Emily Harmon
IntroductionFables are a very popular genre.
There are hundreds of different fables, but one author is given much credit.
~Aesop.~
There is not much known about Aesop, which leads to questions about his existence.
Was Aesop a real man, that lived hundreds of years ago?
Or was the mastermind behind some of our most loved fables
just a fictional character, himself.
Task
Today, you are an investigator.
Your job is to investigate facts about Aesop, and determine whether or not he actually existed.
After doing thorough research, you will make your case to a professional panel (our class).
You will present your final decision on a poster board, with supporting facts, found on this WebQuest.

many irrelevant
ones.
Provides small
amount of supporting
facts.
Presentation on Poster
Well designed
poster, that helps prove point being made. Great organization and detail.
Poster has all
required aspects.
Could use a little more work with
detail.
Poster does not
have very much detail or interest.
Needs decoration
Poster does not look
as if any thought was
put into it before
starting. Messy and
unorganized.
Conclusion
After investigating the “life” of Aesop, I hope that you have a stronger understanding of the man that is credited with creating fables.
He has influenced many stories, videos, and art in our society today, even if we don’t know for sure if he even existed.
