Day 1: Reading (40 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook pages 58-59, story pictures, puppet or toy sheep and wolf

Warm-Up (10 minutes)

  • Ask: "Do you like to hear stories?"
  • Show pictures of a shepherd, sheep, a hill, and a wolf
  • Discuss: "What do you think this story is about?"

Main Activity (20 minutes)

  • Read the story aloud:
    • Once upon a time, there was a shepherd boy who used to take his flock of sheep to the hill to graze on the fresh green grass. Sitting there, he had nothing to do the whole day.
    • One day, an idea struck him. To overcome his boredom, he cried out, "Wolf! Wolf!" All the men came running with their sticks and to their dismay found no wolf! The boy laughed.
    • Again after a few days, he cried out, "Wolf! Wolf!" and the villagers again came running up the hill only to find that the shepherd boy had fooled them. He laughed and laughed, seeing that he had succeeded in fooling them again.
    • However, this time, the villagers were very angry, and they told him that the next time if he cries out for help, they would not come.
    • Next day when his flock of sheep were grazing, he suddenly saw a wolf. He cried out aloud "Wolf! Wolf!" But alas! No one came to rescue his sheep. The shepherd boy returned home crying only with few of his sheep. The wolf had taken away one of his sheep, and few of his sheep had fled.
    • From that day onwards, he promised never to lie again.
  • Ask while-reading question: "Where did the villagers go?"
  • Ask post-reading questions: "Do you tell a lie?" and "Do you like the story? If yes, why?"
