Sayings and Phrases: Do Unto Others as You Would Have Them

Do Unto You

• Remind students of the lesson from the story: you should help others.
  Tell students that there is a well-known saying that sums up this
  lesson: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
  
  
  • Have students repeat this saying, first out loud and then turn to
    their partners and tell it to them.
  
  
  
  


• Say to students: “Discuss with your partner how the saying ‘do unto
  others as you would have them do unto you’ applies to Medio Pollito.”
  Allow thirty seconds for students to talk. Call on two volunteer partner
  pairs to share.


• Ask students whether the outcome would have been different had
  Medio Pollito helped the stream, the fire, and the wind.


• Ask students to come up with other applications of this saying, or
  provide a few more examples for students. (If you do not share, others
  might not share with you either. If you are not kind to others, others
  might not be kind to you either. If you do not like others to be bossy,
  you should not be bossy either. If you would like others to play with
  you, you should play with others also.)
