Daily Lesson Plan — Unit 3

Sharing Brings Happiness

Subject: English | Class: 3 | Series: Leeds (SNC 2020)

Overview

This unit teaches the moral lesson that sharing brings true happiness. Students read a story about Asif, a rich and clever boy who buys a mysterious mirror that always shows a sad face. Only when Asif helps a lost, hungry boy does the mirror finally show happiness. The unit also covers long and short vowel sounds, gender of nouns (masculine, feminine, neuter), pronouns, ordinal numbers (writing them in words), and a gratitude dialogue.

Learning Objectives

After completing this unit, students will be able to:

  • Use pre-reading strategy to predict words that might occur in a text by looking at the title
  • Apply critical thinking to interact with text using intensive reading strategies (while reading) to locate specific factual information
  • Express and show gratitude
  • Spell some words studied in class both orally and in writing
  • Recognize that action takes place in time present, past, and future
  • Locate/scan specific factual information to answer short questions based on text
  • Use critical thinking to respond to the text (post reading) applying world knowledge and own opinion
  • Respond to and ask simple questions starting with verbs is, am, are, was, and were
  • Write an expository paragraph

Day 1: Pre-Reading and Reading — The Story of Asif (40 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook pages 14-15
  • Board and markers
  • A small mirror (optional, for demonstration)

Warm-Up (10 minutes)

  1. Write "Sharing Brings Happiness" on the board.
  2. Pre-reading question: "What theme do you predict by looking at the title?"
  3. Ask students: "Have you ever shared something with someone? How did it make you feel?"
  4. Discuss the phrase "Sharing is Caring."

Reading Activity (25 minutes)

  1. Read the story aloud with expression. Key plot points:
    • Asif was a rich, clever boy who had everything. He was interested in rare and curious objects.
    • He bought a very big, old mirror from a mysterious old man.
    • When he looked in the mirror, his face always looked sad, no matter what he did — smiling, making funny faces, buying sweets, buying toys.
    • Fed up, he placed the mirror in a corner.
    • He went out and met a little boy in the park who was crying badly. The boy had lost his parents and was very hungry.
    • Asif helped the boy: he spent his money buying him food, and together they searched for and found the boy's parents.
    • Asif walked home without toys, without money — but at home, the mirror now showed happiness on his face, with a special shining light.
    • Asif understood the mystery: the mirror could only reflect the true joy of its owner.
    • From then on, whenever the mirror failed to shine, Asif knew what he had to do — help others.
  2. While-reading questions: "Who was Asif?" "Why do you think he was so sad?"
  3. Students read the story silently.
