Arabian Nights, Panchatantra, & Aesop's Fables (Frame Stories, Folktales, & Fables)

Students took open-book quizzes over "The Second Voyage of Sindbad the Sailor" from The Thousand One Nights and "The Lion-Makers" from the Panchatantra.

Students swapped papers and graded the quizzes in class.

The class spent a few minutes discussing Aesop and his possible African heritage which led into a discussion of race as a cultural construct.

Homework:  Read Rabindranath Tagore's "The Kabuliwallah" (607-615).
