The Trickster
1) Use the following sites or videos to learn about some well-known "tricksters" from different cultures. Feel free to supplement your research with sources you find on your own. (And no this does not mean watching endless Simpson's clips)
2) Create a writing piece where you explain some details about each trickster and the significance they have (or might have) to that culture. (1 Paragraph each)
3) Compare Tom Sawyer to the other tricksters you have researched. How are they similar? How are they different? How is Tom Sawyer significant to our culture? (1 Paragraph, answer to the best of your availability, you are telling me what you think!)
