1. INTERPRETING THEME VARIETY OF FABLES

2. CONNECTION WE HAVE LEARNED ABOUT THE CHARACTERISTICS OF FANTASY. BY UNDERSTANDING THE STRUCTURE OF FANTASY AND ANALYZING THE CHARACTERS IN A FANTASY, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY ITS THEME, OR WHAT THE AUTHOR WANTS US TO LEARN.

3. TEACHING POINT TODAY WE WILL IDENTIFY EXAMPLES OF PROVERBS IN ORDER TO INTERPRET THE THEMES. PROVERBS ARE SHORT STATEMENTS OF A GENERAL TRUTH. IT IS A PHRASE OR SAYING THAT GIVES ADVICE IN AN OBSCURE WAY. FOR EXAMPLE, “ABSENCE MAKES THE HEART GROW FONDER.” THIS SAYING MEANS THAT WHEN WE ARE WITHOUT SOMETHING, OR SOMEONE, OUR DESIRE OR WANT FOR IT GROWS STRONGER. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOUR BEST FRIEND MOVED AWAY AND YOU WERE NOT ABLE TO SEE HIM/HER FREQUENTLY, YOU WOULD PROBABLY REALLY MISS THE INTERACTIONS YOU HAD AND REALLY WISH THAT YOU COULD LIVE IN THE SAME PLACE AGAIN. KNOWING THAT, WHAT ADVICE CAN YOU GAIN FROM THIS PROVERB? I THINK IT WOULD BE NOT TO TAKE FOR GRANTED THOSE THAT YOU CARE FOR. YOU SHOULD APPRECIATE THE TIME YOU ARE GIVEN WITH THEM.

4. LET’S READ A FABLE “THE BUNDLE OF STICKS” AS I READ, LISTEN TO SEE IF YOU CAN IDENTIFY A PROVERB. THEN WE WILL DISCUSS ITS MEANING IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE THEME.

WE CAN LEARN THAT WORKING TOGETHER WITH OTHERS IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN WORKING ALONE.
