unit
Standard(s) -R​ecount stories, including fables and folktales from diverse cultures, and
determine their central message, lesson, or moral.

Day’s Lesson Concept Name of lesson concept: ​Wrapping up Folktales/ Comparing Folktales
Umbrella Question to be answered with this lesson: ​What elements of a
folktale appear in “Stone Soup” and how can we compare and contrast
this folktale with the two stories we read the past two days?
Content Objectives Today the students will learn: What are two or three main things you
want them to learn from your lesson? WRITTEN AS MEASURABLE
OBJECTIVES (use Bloom’s!).
-Demonstrate their knowledge of the characteristics of a folktale by
identifying these characteristics in the story “Stone Soup”
-Compare and contrast the elements of the folktale “Stone Soup ” with
the elements in the two stories “Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People’s Ears”
and “The Legend of the BlueBonnet”

How will you link the new materials to prior learning?

I will base this lesson off of their previous knowledge they have learned
over the past two days on folktales. Just like the previous day’s lesson,
they will be expected to fill out the first few boxes of the chart
independently at their desks. After they have filled out these boxes, we
will fill in the rest of the chart together. Lastly, we will compare and
contrast today’s story with the two other stories we read, prompting the
students to recall on their knowledge of the two other books.
Process of Learning What will students do?
-First I will ask the students to gather on the rug and I will introduce the
story by asking if any of them have read the book “Stone Soup” before. I
will also ask them a general question about the concept of sharing since
it will connect to the moral of the story. Then I will proceed by reading
them the story.
-After reading, we will briefly summarize the story together and I will ask
them a few questions relating to the moral such as
“What makes sharing important?
“Were the people kind to the monks at the beginning of the story? Were
they kind to them at the end? What changed?”
-Next, the students will go back to their seats and they will fill out the
first half of the chart independently. I will be walking around the
classroom at this time to help students when needed.
-After the majority of the students have filled out their portion of the
chart, I will go over the remaining boxes of the chart with them.
 -Then we will compare and contrast the three books we have read over
the past three days. I will ask questions such as
-“How are the problems in the “The Legend of the BlueBonnet” and
“Stone Soup” similar?”
-“How are the settings in “Why do Mosquitoes Buzz in People’s Ears” and
“Stone Soup” different?
-“Which story out of all three of the books we read did you guys like the
most and why?”
-Finally, I will wrap up the discussion and summarize what they have
learned over the past three days by reminding them what a folktale is
and how to identify the elements in one.

How long will be spent on each part (timing)?

-Short introduction: 2 min
-Reading the story: 7 min
-Summary and discussion of story on rug: 3 min
-Filling out chart independently: 3 min
-Filling out chart together: 4 min
-Comparing and contrasting stories: 4 min
Will all students be doing the same thing?
-Yes
Post assessment How will you know if students understand the content objectives?
When will assessment occur?
Assessment will occur right after reading the book. They will fill in most
of the charts independently and I will look at their answers as I walk
around the room. I will also know if they understand the content
objectives by listening to their answers during the discussion.
Instructional Strategies How will you get the student’s attention (hook)?
● Introduction/transitions -Before reading the story, I will ask the students “How many of you have
● Teacher talking ever shared something with someone else? Why did you share this with
● Questioning them?” This question will engage the students by getting them
● Student interactions interested in the story and relating the ideas to their own personal life.
● Individual seat work This questions also connects to the moral of the story we will be reading.
● Small group work
● Activity Which strategies are you going to use (list)?
● Lesson closure Introduction

How are you going to teach this lesson?

-I will lead a short discussion on the rug before reading the story. Then, I
will read the story aloud on the rug. After reading, we will have a group
discussion on the story. They will then go back to their seats where it will
be more student focused as they fill out a section of their charts silently
and independently. Then, as students are finishing up their boxes of the
charts, we will do the last few boxes together as a class. Next, we will
compare and contrast elements of the three folktale stories we have
read over the course of the past three days and see how they are similar
and different. Lastly, I will conclude the lesson by summarizing what they
have learned through this three day unit and how they can use what
they’ve learned in the future.
 How will you summarize and check for understanding?
I will summarize at the end by connecting today’s lesson with the lessons
from the previous two days. We will compare and contrast the two
stories and I will gage their understanding by listening to their responses
during the discussions. I will also walk around while the students are
filling out the charts and help students when needed. I will not collect
the charts at the end of the lesson today since it will be the third day of
the students filling in the charts, but by walking around and checking
over each student, I will be able to make sure they are filling it in
correctly.
