Now you are going to read a short story

entitled “The Tortoise and the Hare”

Who wants to read the story? (Racing their hands & volunteering to
read}
I need you to listen carefully.
 “The Tortoise and the Hare”

A Hare was making fun of the Tortoise

one day in the forest for being so slow.

"Do you ever get anywhere?" he asked

with a mocking laugh.

"Yes," replied the Tortoise, "and I get

there sooner than you think. I'll run you a
race and prove it."

The Hare was much amused at the idea

of running a race with the Tortoise, but
for the fun of the thing he agreed. So the
Fox, who had consented to act as judge,
marked the distance and started the
runners off.

The Hare was soon far out of sight, and

to make the Tortoise feel very deeply
how ridiculous it was for him to try a
race with a Hare, he lay down beside the
course to take a nap until the Tortoise
should catch up.

The Tortoise meanwhile kept going

slowly but steadily, and, after a time,
passed the place where the Hare was
 sleeping. But the Hare slept on very
peacefully; and when at last he did wake
up, the Tortoise was near the goal. The
Hare now ran his swiftest, but he could
not overtake the Tortoise in time.

 D. Discussing new concepts and
practicing new skills #1.

And now, we are going to learn about the

elements of the story. First we are going
to learn about the characters and the
setting in the story

Who has an Idea about characters in a Sir/Ma’am they are the ones who are
story? inside the story.

Very good, they acts and sometime tell

the story, they are the ones who narrates
stories, they can also be the bad guys, or
the good ones in the story

How about setting?

Sir/Ma’am it is the time as well as the
place where the story happened.

Very good! The setting displays the time

and the place in the story.

So let’s try if I’m going to make an

instant short story right now, will you be
able to identify who’s the character, Yes Sir/Ma’am
when and where it happened?

One afternoon Benny the fox invited his

friend for his birthday in the forest. So
they can play all day.

Who was the character in the story?

Benny the fox.

Since you already know what are the

characters, and the setting of a story, I
have here an activity for you to answer.

settings from the following short stories.

 E. Discussing new concepts and
practicing new skills #2.

We are now going to discuss another

element of the story and that is the event.

When we say event, these are the things

that is happening in the story.

Some events has a significant effect on

the characters life.

Yes, Very good any other ideas? When the Big bad wolf could not blow
the youngest brothers’ house.

Very good, among those events the most

significant one was when the Big bad
wolf could not blow the youngest
brothers house. Because the older brother
treated their youngest brother nicely.

F. Developing Mastery (leads to

Formative assessment)

And now since you already understand

how to identify the characters, settings,
and the events of the story. We will read
another story called “The ant and the
grasshopper”.
It was a beautiful spring day, a
grasshopper was playing in a green
grassy field. In that field he noticed a
line of ants marching along carrying
some grains of wheat. The grasshopper
asked, “ Where are you going with that
big load?”.
“We are taking these grains to our
nest,” said the Ant. “But it's such a
beautiful day, come and have fun
with me,” said the grasshopper.
“No, I think you should come work
with us it's going to be a long winter
with lots of snow. You had better
start storing your food now” replied
 the ant.
“Why worry about the winter? It's only
spring, and there are lots of food
everywhere,” said the
grasshopper. The grasshopper did not
listen to ant. All through the spring,
the grasshopper did nothing except
eat, sleep and play. He became quite
fat.
Then the summer came. Ants were
busy collecting food for winter, but
the grasshopper did nothing but eat,
sleep and play. He became even
fatter!. Later Autumn came. Ant
advised grasshopper to collect food
for winter but he didn't listen.
“Winter is not here yet, and when it
comes, I am sure I will be able to find
some food”. A few weeks later,
winter came, and the snow began to
fall. Just as the ants said, the snow
was very deep. Ants were all
snug(warm and comfortable)in their
nest with lots of good food to
eat. The grasshopper, however, had
trouble finding food. He was very
hungry and miserably cold all winter.
By the time winter had ended. The
grasshopper had learned a valuable
. Quiz lesson. Next spring onward, the

Moral lesson
We must be industrious so that we
always be prepared for what is going to
come in the future.
G. Finding Practical application of
concepts and skills in daily
living.

Among the characters from the story Sir/Ma’am I would like to be the Ant
“The Ant and the Grasshopper” who because he is very industrious.
would you be and why?

Very good!

The moral lesson of the story was “We

must be industrious so that we always be
prepared for what is going to come in the
future”.

H. Making generalization and

abstraction of the lesson

How do we know who was the character Sir/Ma’am because they are the one who
in the story? told in the story.

Very good, and what about the setting of Sir/Ma’am because we listened carefully
the story? about the time and the place where the
story happened.

Wow very good, how about the event in Sir/Ma’am the grasshopper is lazy and
the story? when the winter hits, he doesn't know
where to get his food.
