LESSON PRESENTATION
Introduction of lesson • Start by giving learners a short history of fables and oral
traditions.
• Read the fable example out loud to the learners.
• Select a book that is not too challenging for the learners at
beginning levels but not too boring for the more advanced
learners.
1. Throughout the course of the reading, stop and ask
questions such as:
• What do you think will happen next?
• What is this character like?
• Can you tell what happened so far in the story?
2. These questions serve to introduce learners to the art of
storytelling and the important aspects of listening and read

Once the story is finished, introduce the concept of the moral of the
story.
1. Ask learners the following question:

2. Allow several learners to provide an answer
3. Use this discussion to Segway into a brief lecture on the moral of
the story

5. Use simple fairytales and fables examples learners might know like
Three Little Pigs and The Little Mermaid to dissect moral more
clearly
6. Ask the learners the following questions and write the answers on
the board:
• What are some other lessons or morals that you know?
• What lessons or morals do you have in your home?
• Have you read other stories with morals or lessons? What
were they?
Now that learners know what a fable is, they can try their hands
