LESSON PRESENTATION
Introduction of Introduction (5 minutes)
lesson
Explain that learners will learn all the parts that make a story. Also mention
that they would add the parts of a story in the same way that ingredients
are added and put in a recipe.
Raise a discussion on recipe. With guiding questions such as: Why do you
need a recipe? What happens if you forget an ingredient? Explain that when
an author writes a story, he/she must have certain parts, and every part is
just as important as any other part.
Ask your learners how the story of The Three Little Pigs would change if pigs
and the wolf were not in the story. Discussion questions may be: How would
the story change if the wolf never tried to blow down the pigs' houses?
Explain to the learners that these are the parts that make the story what it
is.
Body of lesson

how the problem is fixed.
Read a model fiction picture book of your choosing to the learners, and
identify each element mentioned above.
Display a chart with a list of the ingredients or elements needed for the
story.
Check off with the class that each of the four elements was present in the
story. Ensure everyone participates.
, Next to the ingredient, write an example from the story you chose to read.

again. Remind learners to not forget all the appropriate details that relate to
the story elements from the read aloud.
