As students complete their worksheets, have them retell the fable using

their finished sequence.

Poster Review

Show the poster for any nursery rhyme, and have students talk about

the characters, setting, and events of the nursery rhyme. Students may

use their Response Cards to talk about the nursery rhyme. Then say that

nursery rhyme together.

➶ Above and Beyond: An additional poster activity is to show two posters
and have students compare and contrast two nursery rhymes to discuss
how they are the same and how they are different.

Image Card Review

Materials: Image Cards 1–12

Give Image Cards 1–12 to twelve different students. Have students work

together to put themselves into three groups for the three different fables.

events of their fable. Finally, have each group retell the fable for the class

using the Image Cards.

You may also choose to work with the Image Cards for just one fable.

choice.
