Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears (Folk Literature)

A mosquito is excited to tell his animal friends all about the crazy thing he saw the farmer doing the day before!  Too bad the first friend he tells doesn't believe him and puts sticks in his ears to stop hearing his lies. This was the start of a chaotic, even violent misunderstanding throughout the animals. The confusion is lead right back to the mosquito and he is forever shamed. Up until this day, he still wonders if everyone is still angry with him for causing so much mischief and he has to buzz in people's ears to find out!


To introduce the Prezi application to students, I would ask them to make their own version of the story or use the actual story and make a Prezi presentation. The link below is a example of how the student's might start their presentation:
