Sure, I'd be happy to elaborate further on each section of the lesson plan.

Introduction:

The introduction is a crucial part of the lesson plan, as it sets the stage for what students will be
learning. To begin, the teacher will introduce the concept of fables to the class and gauge students' prior
knowledge on the topic. This can be done through a class discussion where students can share what
they know about fables and what they have learned from them in the past. Next, the teacher will
introduce the two fables that will be discussed in the lesson, "The Peacock and The Crane." The teacher
will hold up the toys or pictures of the animals to give students a visual of what they look like, which can
help them better understand the stories.

Storytelling:

During this portion of the lesson, the teacher will read the fables aloud to the class. As the teacher
reads, they should pause at key points in the stories to ask comprehension questions and check for
understanding. For example, the teacher may stop after a particularly important event or ask students
to predict what will happen next in the story. After reading the stories, the teacher should use story
sequencing cards to help students retell the stories and understand the sequence of events. Finally, the
teacher will discuss the morals of the stories, "Pride goes before a fall" and "Be content with what you
have." The teacher should ensure that students understand the meaning of each moral and how it
applies to the stories.

Application:

In this portion of the lesson, students will work in pairs or small groups to apply the moral of one of the
fables to a real-life situation. The teacher can provide a list of situations for students to choose from or
allow them to come up with their own. Each group will present their situation and the moral lesson they
chose. The teacher can lead a class discussion on whether or not the group applied the moral correctly
and if there were other morals that could apply to the situation. This activity helps students apply what
they learned to their own lives and think critically about how to apply moral lessons to real-life
situations.

Conclusion:

The conclusion of the lesson is an opportunity to review what students have learned and reflect on how
they can apply it to their own lives. The teacher should recap the moral lessons from the fables and ask
students to share their reflections on how they can apply the moral lessons to their own lives. Finally,
students will complete an exit slip where they write down one way they will apply the moral lesson they
learned today. This helps students reflect on what they learned and commit to applying it in their lives.

Assessment:

The teacher will assess students' understanding through class participation during storytelling and
application, and through the exit slip at the end of the lesson. The teacher may also choose to assess
student understanding through a follow-up activity such as a drawing or writing prompt where students
apply the moral lesson to their own life. Assessing students' understanding is crucial to ensure that the
lesson was effective and that students can apply what they learned to their own lives
