    The student will be able to add graphics to a word document to illustrate their fables.

    Materials needed to facilitate the lesson: PowerPoint and Word programs, students computers, internet access.

    Suggested group size: personal student project.

    Procedures: (Step by step narrative for implementation of the lesson.) Write this CLEARLY and THOROUGHLY enough so any SUBSTITUTE teacher
    could pick up your lesson plan, and easily implement it in your absence. Have someone else proof read what you have in this section and see if
    they can make sense of what you are trying to say... If they seem confused by your written directions... so will a substitute teacher..... and so
    will I. (BE MORE DETAILED IN WRITING THAN YOU ARE THINKING IN YOUR HEAD.)

    Project this PowerPoint (named-Fableslessonplan)

    On the fables are slide read through allow the students to answer the questions on the bottom.

    For the rest of the slides you may ask students to read the fables for you, however there are some tough words that you will have to explain and read for them.
    When you get to the end of the fable ask the students what they think the moral is then click again to activate the animation that will remove the green box that
    hides the moral.

    Keep in mind that most of the morals are written in not so plain English so you will have to translate for the students so that they understand the meaning of the
    moral.

    The last slide just before my reference slide there are instructions for the students assignment. They will create their own fable they dont have to be long at all
    just a paragraph which is at least five sentences. The students will have to find at least two pictures that relate to their fable and import them to their word
    document.

    Assessment: The students understanding will be assessed through their projects. Their grades will be determined through spelling, grammar,
    and completion. How well their morals link to their own fables will show their understanding of what a fable is and will lay the ground work
    toward finding the main ideas in other literature.

    Fables

    Fables are

    Stories that are written with a moral

    Moral- a lesson that is learned from a story or an experience

    Many of the fables we know were written by a man names Aesop.

    He was a Greek slave and story-teller that lived a very long time ago.(Aesop for children about)

    He wrote The Tortoise and the Hair.

    What happened in The Tortoise and the Hair?

    What is the moral?

    The Fox & the Grapes


    Grapes simple

    A Fox one day spied a beautiful bunch of ripe grapes hanging


    from a vine trained along the branches of a tree. The grapes
    seemed ready to burst with juice, and the Fox's mouth
    watered as he gazed longingly at them.
    The bunch hung from a high branch, and the Fox had to jump
    for it. The first time he jumped he missed it by a long way. So
    he walked off a short distance and took a running leap at it,
    only to fall short once more. Again and again he tried, but in
    vain.
    Now he sat down and looked at the grapes in disgust.
    "What a fool I am," he said. "Here I am wearing myself out to
    get a bunch of sour grapes that are not worth gaping for."

    And off he walked very, very scornfully.

    Moral:
    There are many who pretend to despise and belittle that which is
    beyond their reach.
    Aesop for children

    The Peacock, they say, did not at first have the beautiful
    feathers in which he now takes so much pride. These, Juno,
    whose favorite he was, granted to him one day when he
    begged her for a train of feathers to distinguish him from
    the other birds. Then, decked in his finery, gleaming with
    emerald, gold, purple, and azure, he strutted proudly
    among the birds. All regarded him with envy. Even the most
    beautiful pheasant could see that his beauty was surpassed.
    Presently the Peacock saw an Eagle soaring high up in the
    blue sky and felt a desire to fly, as he had been accustomed
    to do. Lifting his wings he tried to rise from the ground. But
    the weight of his magnificent train held him down. Instead
    of flying up to greet the first rays of the morning sun or to
    bathe in the rosy light among the floating clouds at sunset,
    he would have to walk the ground more encumbered and
    oppressed than any common barnyard fowl.

    Moral: Do not sacrifice your freedom for the sake


    of pomp and show.

    The Dog, the Rooster, & the Fox


    A Dog and a Rooster, who were the best of friends, wished very much to see something of
    the world. So they decided to leave the farmyard and to set out into the world along the
    road that led to the woods. The two comrades traveled along in the very best of spirits
    and without meeting any adventure to speak of.

    Proud rooster

    At nightfall the Rooster, looking for a place to roost, as was his custom, spied nearby a
    hollow tree that he thought would do very nicely for a night's lodging. The Dog could
    creep inside and the Rooster would fly up on one of the branches. So said, so done, and
    both slept very comfortably.
    With the first glimmer of dawn the Rooster awoke. For the moment he forgot just where
    he was. He thought he was still in the farmyard where it had been his duty to arouse the
    household at daybreak. So standing on tip-toes he flapped his wings and crowed lustily.
    But instead of awakening the farmer, he awakened a Fox not far off in the wood. The Fox
    immediately had rosy visions of a very delicious breakfast. Hurrying to the tree where
    the Rooster was roosting, he said very politely:
    "A hearty welcome to our woods, honored sir. I cannot tell you how glad I am to see you
    here. I am quite sure we shall become the closest of friends."

    St Bernard Dog

    "I feel highly flattered, kind sir," replied the Rooster slyly. "If you will please go around to
    the door of my house at the foot of the tree, my porter will let you in."
    The hungry but unsuspecting Fox, went around the tree as he was told, and in a twinkling
    the Dog had seized him.

    Moral: Those who try to deceive may expect to be paid in their own coin.
