Tricks and pranks are not just for April Fools Day. In fact, every culture has its own trickster, set of jokes and ways to make people laugh. Tales of Tyl Eulenspiegel, Coyote, Anansi and others will have students wondering whether a trickster is a teacher of fools or a foolish teacher.
Georgia Performance Standards:
- ELA5R1 - The student relates a literary work to information about its setting hisrotically or culturally.
