Lesson details
Key learning points
- Traditional tales often have a theme that is central to the story.
- The theme often leads to a moral that can teach us a lesson about something.
- Thinking about the moral can help us change something in our lives.
- When we sequence events in a story, we put them in chronological order.
- Sequencing the main events of the story helps to summarise the whole story.
Keywords
Theme - a big idea, topic or message that appears in a story
Moral - a lesson that can be learnt from a story or experience
Sequence - place events in order
Chronological - following the order in which a series of events happened
Common misconception
Children may find it difficult to identify the main events in the story and they may try to include too much information.
Explain that the main events are the most important moments in the story. Without these moments, the story would not flow. Pick out some elements of the text that are minor moments and share these as non-examples.
Equipment
