Lesson Plan On Storytelling or Fables For First Grade Children
Grade Children
Using storytelling or fables in a lesson plan for your first grade students will introduce them to
this type of literature, as well as let them see the purpose of such narratives.
Objectives
Activities
1. The teacher will read the tale out loud to the students. Throughout the course of the reading,
the teacher will stop and ask questions such as:
What do you think will happen next?
What is this character like?
Can you tell me what happened so far in the story?
These questions serve to introduce students to the art of story telling, as well as to the important
aspects of listening and reading.
2. Once the story is finished, the teacher will introduce the concept of the moral or the lesson of
the story by asking students the following question:
3. A very brief lecture ensues in which the teacher explains the definition of a moral.
4. The teacher asks the students the following questions and writes the students' answers on the
board:
5. The students are asked to draw a picture from the story which shows the main character
learning the lesson or moral. Underneath the story, students must write down what the moral or
lesson that is being demonstrating in the story. The teacher will circulate in the classroom to help
with any questions regarding ideas, words, sentence structure, spelling etc.
6. Homework: The students are asked to bring in their favorite book that has a moral or lesson in
it to share with the rest of the class.

Writing is another skill that is just developing at this time. Be prepared to offer assistance to your
students and remain patient if they are struggling with forming letters.
Allow some time for the homework assignment to be completed. Not all students will have
lesson or moral books at home. A substitute idea for this homework assignment is to have each
student select a book with a moral or lesson the next time that the class takes a trip to the library.
If you teach older students, you could still use this lesson plan as a framework, and add different
types of age appropriate activities to the lesson plan so that it is suitable for the grade level.
