To engage students in the classic fairy tale "The Fisherman and His Wife" and explore themes of greed, contentment, and the consequences of our desires.
Teacher: "Good morning, class! Today, we are going to dive into a magical story that will take us to the sea and introduce us to a fisherman, his wife, and a very special fish. But first, let’s do something fun! I want everyone to close their eyes and imagine that you are at the beach. You hear the soft sound of the waves, and the salty breeze is in the air. What do you see around you?"
Teacher: "Now, let’s open our eyes and gather around! Imagine you found a magical fish at the beach. It can grant you wishes! How many of you would make a wish? What would it be?"
[Allow students to share their thoughts.]
Teacher: "Today, we will read about a fisherman who caught a fish that could grant wishes. But, just like in our lives, getting everything we want isn't always good. Let's dive into the story and see what happens to the fisherman and his wife!"
Teacher: "As we read 'The Fisherman and His Wife,' pay attention to the wishes they make and how they feel about them. After reading, we'll discuss what happened and what we think about their choices. Are you ready? Let’s get started on our fairy tale adventure!"
Teacher: "Remember, every wish has a consequence! Keep this in mind as we explore the story."
