This teacher guide outlines a 30-minute interactive lesson focused on the fable 'The Lion and the Mouse' by Jerry Pinkney. The session includes materials like the book, a storyboard scaffold for planning, and mini whiteboards for students to draw and summarize key story elements. Students will explore narrative components such as orientation, key events, and the moral lesson. Prior learning of another fable, 'The Tortoise and the Hare,' sets the context. The lesson encourages identification of main story events, prediction of story outcomes, and understanding the purpose of fables as vehicles for moral messages. Students will complete a storyboard, practice oral retelling skills, receive peer feedback, and reflect on their understanding of the moral lessons in fables.
