READINESS
I. Goals/Objectives/Standard(s)
a. Objectives
i. Students will be able to explain basic points of view and be able to identify the speaker
of a story.
ii. Students will be able to identify if a story is a folktale or not.
b. Standards
i. IAS
1. 3.RL.2.2 Retell folktales, fables, and tall tales from diverse cultures; identify the
themes in these works.
2. 3.RL.3.2 Distinguish personal point of view from that of the narrator or those of
the characters.
ii. ISTE
1. Students leverage technology to take an active role in choosing, achieving and
demonstrating competency in their learning goals, informed by the learning
sciences.
2. Students use a variety of technologies within a design process to identify and solve
problems by creating new, useful or imaginative solutions.

II. Home Based Study—DAY 1—

a. Students should watch the video linked on the website introducing the idea of folktales.
b. Students should use their reading journals to make a list of three specific folktales they know,
and how they know that it is a folktale.
i. Ex. “I know that Little Red Riding Hood is a folktale because it is an untrue story, it
teaches a lesson, and it has been retold and passed down through generations.”

III. In-Class Lesson Study –DAY 2

a. Anticipatory Set:
i. I will use “Kahoot” to create a short game about if a story is a folktale or not. I will use
Pop Culture examples such as Frozen compared to the 3 Little Pigs, etc.
ii. I will ask the students if they have any questions about the video they watched. Then, I
will ask students if they remember the idea of “Point of View” that they learned in
second grade.

IV. Purpose:
a. “Today we are going to explore the how we know who is telling a story, and how we can learn
lessons based on who is telling the story. This is important because it tells us how accurate a
story is based on who is telling us what happened.

V. Lesson Presentation (Input/Output)

a. Activity:
i. I will read the story Walt Disney’s The Three Little Pigs. (7 min)
1. While students listen, they will mentally note important plot points and who is
telling the story.
ii. I will read the story The True Story of the Three Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka. (7 min)
1. While students listen, they will mentally note important plot points and who is
telling the story.

 iii. Students will return to their seats and pull out their iPads to create a video about what
they learned from the book.
1. The students will use the app “EduCreations” to create a one-slide plot line for
Walt Disney’s The Three Little Pigs. (5-7 min)
2. The students will use the app “EduCreations” to create a one-slide plot line for The
True Story of the Three Little Pigs. (5-7 min)
iv. Students will then use their slides on “EduCreations” to record themselves explaining
plot lines and explaining the following questions: (10-15 min)
1. What point of view is the story? How do you know?
2. Which one of these stories is a folktale, and which one is fiction? How do you
know?
3. Which story is your favorite? Why?

VI. Closure/ Conclusion/Review Learning Outcomes:

a. Formative: I will walk around while students are making their slides and videos so that I can
ensure that the students are following directions and doing work correctly.
b. Authentic/Summative: Students will upload their video to BrightSpace for a project grade.

VII. Reflection and Post-Lesson Analysis

a. How many students achieved the lesson objective(s)? For those who did not, why not?
b. What were my strengths and weaknesses?
c. How should I alter this lesson?
d. How would I pace it differently?
e. Were all students actively participating? If not, why not?
f. What adjustments did I make to reach varied learning styles and ability level?
i. Bloom’s Taxonomy
ii. Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences
