Folklore and Folktales from Around the World

This week began our travels to 5 different Continents through our reading of Folktales. Our first stop was the African Continent by reading, How Anansi Has Eight Skinny Legs. Anansi is a greedy, tricky spider who wants to try everyone´s food but doesn´t want to work for it. This fable and myth allows us to glimpse into the West African Culture.

Along with reading How Anansi Has Eight Skinny Legs, we´ll be using the Adinkra symbols to create patters which best represents us.
