Part 1: Lesson Content
How does this lesson connect to the interests and cultural backgrounds of your students?
Students are aware that all fables have something to learn a moral. Everyone needs to know how to
behave and respond appropriately to bad situations. Students can connect the moral they learn to their
own lives. I will ask students to discuss how they can use this moral in their lives.
How does this lesson connect to/reflect the local community?
They can take the moral they learn from these characters and share it with their community or connect it
to a way their community uses or does not use the moral in the story.
I will ask students to have this moral in their community.
