Presentation Transcript

  1. The story you are about to read is a modern-day trickster tale—a story about a character, usually someone small and weak, who plays tricks on someone large and powerful. The writer Julius Lester explains, “Teachers and parents know Trickster well, because there is one in every classroom and every large family. Trickster is the class clown, the child who seems to have a genius for walking a thin line between fun and trouble, the child who is always ‘up to something.’” Decide whether you identify with the trickster or with the parents or teacher. Who do you think is more powerful?
