In your journal, brainstorm a list of rule-breakers in society, films, T.V. sports, or your own life. Keep an open mind--rule-breakers can be dangerous or not so dangerous. Also restrict your list to include only those who break rules for selfish reasons (in other words, leave out civil rights leaders, revolutionaries, heroes).
Let's synthesize this information. Create three separate categories that can be applied to our list. Begin selecting items on our list and assign them a category.
Let's read a trickster narrative together and discuss what makes the character a trickster.
HW: Read your trickster folktale. In your journal:
1.Identify the trickster character
2. Explain whether or not this character should be taken seriously. Give at least 3 details from the text to support.
3. Compare this character to another individual, either from your brainstorm list or someone who pops into your head.
