Abstract
I started writing the fables in 1996, when I took over teaching the undergraduate research course. At first, they were "buried treasures" hidden in the on-line course materials (it was a hybrid course, and we were trying to get the students to develop internet surfing skills) for students to find. Then, as there were more of them, I started explicitly assigning them for student reading. As I've had time, I've written fables for areas where students seem to get "stuck" on basic concepts in research. Two of the fables have "readers' theater" versions that I use in class for traditional students. Casting the parts is always fun. Enjoy!
