Garde 1 - Read-Aloud Supplemental Guide

20 Fables and Stories: Supplemental Guide 1 | The Boy Who Cried Wolf

Note to Teacher

Due to the short nature of fables, you may wish to repeat each fable,

making the second read of the fable more dialogic and interactive.

Use may wish to create an anchor chart for fables (for Lessons 1–6) that

lists out the three characteristics of a fable: a fable is short, has a moral,

and uses personification. Mark off the characteristics present for each

fable as you progress through the lessons.

Personification

You may wish to display the moral of the fables in your students’ own

words under the image of each fable. Suggestion: After the second

read of the fable, have students say the moral of the story in their own

words. Choose two students’ paraphrases to write down and write the

student’s name after it. There will also be a comprehension question

that addresses the moral of the story; choose another two students’

paraphrases to write down and write the student’s name after it. Make

sure that every student has a chance to say the moral of a story in their

own words before the end of Lesson 6, “The Fox and the Grapes.”
