Thanks! When I was working on my undergrad in education— and “multiple intelligences” by Howard Gardner was popular— I prepared a unit about Anansi. Tell me more about the spider.

@8eef5a3b: Anansi is a popular figure in West African and Caribbean folklore. He is often depicted as a spider, but sometimes takes on other forms as well. Anansi is known for his cleverness and trickery, and he often uses his wit to outsmart his opponents. Anansi stories are often used to teach moral lessons, and they are popular among children and adults alike. In some stories, Anansi is portrayed as a hero who uses his intelligence to help others, while in others he is a more mischievous figure who causes trouble for his own amusement. Overall, Anansi is an important cultural symbol in many African and Caribbean communities, and his stories continue to be passed down from generation to generation.
