Description: This lesson plan springboards off of Joseph Bruchac's book \"Pushing up the Sky: Seven plays for Native American children.\" The lesson generates the opportunity for students to compare the concept of the larger than life hero in different cultures. Gluskabe, the hero of the story \"Gluskabe and Old Man Winter\",faces all sorts of trials and tribulations which he has cleverly planned for. This lesson allows students to compare Gluscabi to other folk heroes.
