Little Friends may prove to be great friends. Dont follow the crowd. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Pride can be costly. Appearances can be deceiving. From the lessons the students generated I will have them choose or if they can think of one on their own they are free to use it. I will pass out the graphic organizer and have the students pick a moral to write about.
| Segment 3: | Have students create a graphic organizer to help prepare the students to write their own fable. I would walk around and help students who are struggling with the graphic organizer. | Homework/Extension/Reminders: Fables are due at the end of the week. We will be working on them throughout the week and http://www.netrover.com/~kingskid/graphic/written1.pdf
