"Good morning, everyone! Today, we are going to learn about a fun story called 'The Three Little Pigs.' Before we dive in, can anyone raise their hand and tell me if they have heard this story before? [Pause for responses] Great! Now, I want to show you some pictures. [Hold up pictures of the pigs and the wolf] Who can tell me what they see in these pictures? Yes, that's right! We have the three little pigs and the big bad wolf. Let’s see what happens in our story today!"
"Now, let’s read 'The Three Little Pigs' together. I will read it aloud, and I want you to listen carefully. [Begin reading the book, showing illustrations] As I read, I will stop at certain points to ask you some questions. [Pause after a few pages] What did the first little pig build his house with? Yes, straw! And what about the second pig? Correct, sticks! Let's keep listening. [Continue reading, engaging students with questions] What happened when the wolf came to the houses? Yes, he huffed and puffed! That’s right. Great listening, everyone!"
"Now that we've finished our story, let’s take a moment to check our homework. Last time, I asked you to think about your favourite part of our last lesson. What did you all think? [Ask general questions about the homework] Who can share something they liked? Great ideas, everyone! It seems like we all enjoyed learning about our previous topic. Let’s remember these thoughts as we move on today."
"Let’s talk about 'The Three Little Pigs' now! I have some questions for you. Can anyone tell me what the pigs used to build their houses? [Wait for responses] Yes, the first pig used straw, the second pig used sticks, and the third pig used bricks. Now, what happened to the wolf when he tried to blow down the houses? Wonderful! He couldn’t blow down the brick house. You all are doing a fantastic job! What do you think the moral of the story is? Yes, hard work pays off!"
"Now it’s time for a fun activity! I have worksheets for you that relate to our story. On your worksheet, you will need to draw a line to match the characters to what they built. [Hand out worksheets] You can also write down your favourite character. Remember to think about the pigs and the wolf as you work. I’ll give you about 5 minutes to complete this, and then we can share what we wrote. Ready? Go!"
"Okay, everyone, time's up! Now, who would like to share their favourite character and why they chose them? [Call on a few students] Thank you for sharing; those were great reasons! Before we finish, let’s recap what we learned today. We talked about the three little pigs and their houses, and how the wolf tried to come after them. Next lesson, we are going to create our own stories! Doesn’t that sound exciting? Have a great day and don’t forget for your homework, I want you to draw your favourite character and write a sentence about why you like them. Bye for now!"
