Reading Lesson Plan for Grade 1

Lesson Title: Exploring Fables

Duration: 30 Minutes

Learning Objectives

• Students will identify the elements of a fable.
• Students will understand the moral of a fable.
• Students will improve their listening and comprehension skills.

Materials Needed

• A selection of fables (e.g., "The Tortoise and the Hare", "The Boy Who Cried Wolf", "The Fox and the Grapes")
• Whiteboard and markers
• Craft materials (coloured paper, scissors, glue)
• Printed worksheets for writing the moral of the fable

Introduction (5 minutes)

Begin the lesson by asking students if they know what a fable is. Write their responses on the whiteboard. Explain that a fable is a short story that usually features animals and teaches a lesson, known as a moral. Give a few examples of commonly known fables to pique their interest.

Read Aloud (10 minutes)

Choose one fable to read aloud to the class. For this lesson, "The Tortoise and the Hare" is a great choice.

1. Read the fable with expression to engage the students.
2. After reading, ask the students questions:
   • Who were the main characters?
   • What was the story about?
   • What happened at the end?
3. Discuss the moral of the story. Write it on the board and encourage students to share their thoughts about it.

Group Activity (10 minutes)

Divide the class into small groups and assign each group a different fable. Hand out the printed copies of fables for each group.

1. Ask them to:

   • Read their assigned fable together.
   • Identify the characters, setting, and plot.
   • Discuss the moral of their fable.

2. After discussion, each group will present their fable to the class, summarising the story and sharing the moral.

Individual Activity (5 minutes)

Hand out worksheets for each student to complete. The worksheet will include:

• A space to draw their favourite character from one of the fables.
• Lines to write the moral of the story.

Conclusion (5 minutes)

Bring the class back together and ask a few students to share their drawings and the morals they wrote down. Reinforce the significance of fables and the lessons they teach us.

Assessment

• Monitor group discussions and presentations for understanding of fable elements.
• Evaluate completed worksheets for comprehension of the moral.

Reflection

After the lesson, consider what went well and what could be improved for future lessons. Take note of students' engagement levels and any questions they had during the discussions.
