In this tale, Ananse, the Spider man, travels up to the sky to offer to buy Nyame, the Sky God’s stories. Nyame asks Ananse to bring him Osebo the leopard-of-the-terrible-teeth, Mmboro the hornets-who-sting-like-fire, and Mmoatia the fairy-whom-men-never-see. When Ananse agrees to the price Nyame asks how he can accomplish such a task. He believes that Ananse is too small and weak to accomplish such a task. Ananse uses his intelligence and cunning to trick all three creatures. He returns to Nyame with payment for his stories. Nyame calls his court together to sing the praises of Ananse and declares his stories “Spider stories”.\nRead entire main selection text, keeping in mind the Big Ideas and Key Understandings.\nRe-read the main selection text while noting the stopping points for the Text Dependent Questions and teaching Vocabulary.\nDuring Teaching\nStudents read the entire main selection text independently.\nTeacher reads the main selection text aloud with students following along. (Depending on how complex the text is and the amount of support needed by students, the teacher may choose to reverse the order of steps 1 and 2.)\nStudents and teacher re-read the text while stopping to respond to and discuss the questions and returning to the text.  A variety of methods can be used to structure the reading and discussion (i.e.:  whole class discussion, think-pair-share, independent written response, group work, etc.)\nText Dependent Questions\nText Dependent Questions\nAnswers\nReread paragraphs 1 and 2 on page 108. What are “spider stories”? What do they all have in common?\nSpider stories are African tales that may or may not be about Kwaku Ananse. They tell how small, defenseless men or animals outwit others and succeed against great odds.\nWhy does Ananse, the Spider man, want to buy the Sky God’s stories? (Pg. 109)\nAt the time, there were no stories on Earth. All stories belonged to Nyame, the Sky God. He kept them in a golden box next to his royal stool.\nWhat was the price that Nyame, the Sky God wanted for his stories? Does Nyame, the Sky God, believe Ananse can pay his price? (Pg. 109)\nNyame asked Ananse to bring him Osebo the leopard-of-the-terrible-teeth, Mmboro the hornets-who-sting-like-fire, and Mmoatia the fairy-whom-men-never-see. Nyame didn’t think that Ananse could bring him what he asked. In the story, Nyame laughs when Ananse tells him he wants to buy the stories. Then when he says, “I shall gladly pay the price.” Nyame laughs again. He asks him, “How can a weak old man like you, so small, so small, so small pay my price?”\nIn the last paragraph on page 109, what does the word “chuckled” mean?\nThe world “chuckled” means laughed. “Twe, Twe, Twe” is the sound of Nyame’s laugh. He said it in paragraph 3 when he laughed at Ananse for wanting to buy his stories.\nReread page 110. How does Ananse respond to the Sky God’s laughter?\nAnanse doesn’t get discouraged he simply gets to work on capturing the three creatures.\nWhat does the word “binding” mean on page 110?\nThe word binding means to tie something up.\nHow was Ananse able to capture Osebo the leopard-of-the-terrible-teeth? Why did Osebo agree to play the game with Ananse? (Pg. 110)\nAnanse was able to capture Osebo th","cbCaiaRwTA2PxwIU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaRwTA2PxwIU","doc",83456,12,"English","# Teacher Instructions\n## Before Teaching\n## During Teaching\n# Text Dependent Questions\n# Vocabulary","[{\"question\":\"What is the big idea and key understanding of this unit?\",\"answer\":\"Smaller defenseless creatures can use intelligence and cunning to outsmart others and succeed against great odds.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does Ananse want to buy the Sky God’s stories?\",\"answer\":\"At the time, there were no stories on Earth; all stories belonged to Nyame, the Sky God, who kept them in a golden box.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Ananse capture the three creatures Nyame asks for?\",\"answer\":\"He tricks Osebo by using a game (“binding binding game”), tricks Mmboro by getting the hornets to fly into his calabash by believing it is raining, and captures Mmoatia by hiding out of sight and using a sticky latex gum-covered wooden doll to fool her.\"}]","A Story - A Story - Basal | DOC",1792132287,18]
