Weaving of a Dream
Hi Literature Students,
You have been reading the folktale, "Weaving of a Dream". Yesterday we talked about how folktales are stories that are told many times over, and often change from the way one person tells it to another. Folktales also have fantasy elements in them which make them a type of FICTION. Your job is to write a short paragraph describing how you know that "Weaving of a Dream" is FICTION. Use at least three examples from the text.
You need to write a four-sentence paragraph that includes a topic sentence and your three examples.
I am looking forward to finding out the details you noted in this text to determine that it was a piece of fiction.
:)
