Exploring Ali Baba…
Posted On 21 Sep 2016
As part of our topic exploring the world this term, in English we delved into stories from other cultures, starting with the tale of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. In groups, we explored the story and identified the features that told us it was set at a different time and in a different culture.
Class 9 – What elements from the story can you remember showed a difference in time and culture?
I enjoyed reading about Ali Baba [I read the part about the 40 thieves hiding in the pots]
I really enjoyed discussing about the story in my group.
Yes, I agree. It was interesting learning about the differences of time and culture, relating to the story.
I liked learning about how through time the story changed as people may have forgotten things or made up things to make the story more exciting! 🙂
