Author‟s Note

I retold each of the scenes in bdquoHungry Spider and Turtle‟ and then used sound and color to bring my story alive

I picked my background music and design at the bottom because they reminded me of African art and this is a folktale from the Ashanti people who live in Africa

I picked the background color on each slide to help make the setting The background of the first scene was sandy brown because it was dry and dirty in this part of the story In the second slide Turtle was hot and tired so I chose the red-pink color to remind people of how hot he was

I really liked the music I picked for the second slide because it sounded like African music but it also made it sound like Turtle was on a mission

Author‟s Note

I retold each of the scenes in bdquoHungry Spider and Turtle‟ and then used sound and color to bring my story alive

I picked my background music and design at the bottom because they reminded me of African art and this is a folktale from the Ashanti people who live in Africa

I picked the background color on each slide to help make the setting The background of the first scene was sandy brown because it was dry and dirty in this part of the story In the second slide Turtle was hot and tired so I chose the red-pink color to remind people of how hot he was

I really liked the music I picked for the second slide because it sounded like African music but it also made it sound like Turtle was on a mission
