Why a Fable?

A fable is a little story which imparts a moral lesson. It often includes animals, plants, forces of nature which take on a human qualities. It is a great starting point to help students see how a story unfolds in a cetain setting with a simple plot. Using this as a base, one can create a language arts lesson plan and help students to write a little story, with only a few characters, in a setting, facing a problem and coming to a conclusion as well as teaching a moral lesson.

The lesson format is available here.

I am using the same Ten Day Outline which I used to describe how to create Homeschool Language Arts Lesson Plans based on Literature.

I have used this Ten Day model when writing my 200+ page e-book, Modeling the Classics: Language Arts Lesson Plans from the Hobbit.

NEW!! Modeling the Classics - Teaching Descriptive Writing. Read more here.

You can also see homeschool language arts lesson plans I have created using modeling. Each lesson plan focuses on a particular stylistic element.
