Fables and Stories: Supplemental Guide | Introduction 5- Sequencing the Story (a set of four images, three sets total) are
illustrations from “The Little Half-Chick (Medio Pollito),” “The
Crowded, Noisy House,” and “The Tale of Peter Rabbit.” Students use
these illustrations to sequence the plot of the story and to retell fiction
read-alouds, including key details. - The Moral of the Story—You may wish to display the moral of the fables
in your students’ own words. Display student-generated morals under
the image card associated with each fable. (For a larger image, you can
print the Flip Book image for the fable.) Under each image of the fable
write up to four accurate student paraphrases of the moral. (Specific
points in the lessons prompt you to do this.) Be sure that all students
have at least one paraphrase displayed by the end of Lesson 6. - Personification Chart—Beginning in Lesson 4 and through the rest
of this domain, you may wish to keep a running record of the way
personification is used in the stories. (See sample charts within the
lessons.) - Class Book Fair—You may wish to have every student bring in their
favorite storybook, including storybooks in their home language.
Display their favorite stories in the classroom throughout this domain.
(If students do not own a copy of their favorite story, help them locate
a copy from the school or local library.) Each day you may wish to
have one or two students retell their favorite story so that by the end
of this domain, every student will have shared their favorite story with
the class. - Art and Drama Connections—You may wish to coordinate with the
school’s art teacher to create an art project related to this domain,
e.g., creating a storybook cover for one of the fables or stories. In
addition you may wish to coordinate with the school’s drama teacher
to help your students perform one of the stories in this domain. (See
the On Stage extension activities in the Tell It Again! Read-Aloud
Anthology for Fables and Stories.)
