Aim: How can the elevator pitch and consultant protocol provide clarity and feedback for our fable project?
DO NOW: Elevator Pitch: Round “1”-The elevator Pitch (CREATION)!
Create an elevator pitch for the fable you created. Your pitch should address the moral you chose and the fable story idea you created from the outline. Be prepared to “Pitch” your idea to your team in round “2”. Record your response on the chart-space provided.
Hi, I’m Gunhee Lee and my fable is about a child named Gabriel, whose father failed in overthrowing the King. He was executed, and Gabe, banished out For 15 years, Gabe grew up in the wilderness, being shunned by all the animals, except for one ant. This ant was his only companion, but one day, the ant is squashed. Gabe is quickly taken back to the village, and is shunned by all the villagers. He asks the king how he could prove himself, and the king sends him on a quest to kill a demon who had been ravaging the village, killing the mightiest of heroes. Gabe kills the demon, dying in the process. In the end, the villagers realize that he had been a good person, and they had never given him a chance. The moral of this story is “Children are not to be blamed for the faults of their parents.”
Paul’s fable is about an evil vulture that manipulates animals. The animals overthrow the king for the vulture, and then rules the animals so that they starve. Because the vulture is a scavenger, he feeds on the dead bodies. He eventually becomes so fat and lives like a king. However, eventually, there is no more food for even himself, and he too starves. The moral is too much cunning overreaches itself.
David’s fable is about a fox prankster. He pranks a mama bear, and the mama bear decides she will get him back. The moral is that those who like practical jokes should be ready to laugh when others decide to prank them back.
Paul: Gunhee, how do the villagers express that they have learned the moral? What is the significance of the bear being a mama bear?
David: Paul, who was part of the kingdom?
Gunhee: Paul, is it really too much cunning since he didn’t really think in the long term?
For Gunhee: Switch to animals, maybe cut out the exile part,
For David: Elaborate on how the pranks happen,
For Paul: Make the story less gruesome, make the vulture’s intentions more clear
The purpose of this lesson was to work on our fables, and to utilize each other to improve our fables to find the flaws in our stories that we may have not seen if we didn’t have each other.
I learned that story telling is more difficult than I had previously thought. However, it is very helpful to have a group to share with and receive criticism from in order to grow our writing.
I am going to use this by utilizing my group to improve my story, as well as use them to help make sure I am ready for the project presentation.
