Hunt down a great way to teach characterization with one of Aesop's fables. An audio retelling of "The Hart and the Hunter" depicts the prideful hart and its disdain for its slender, quick legs. The activity concludes with a written response about how the hart's traits are similar to each pupil's personalities.
