The world is changing so rapidly and it is our responsibility as educators to instill in our students responsibility, moral and ethical values, and a sense of appropriate interaction among each other. This can be accomplished by introducing social science concepts in psychology, sociology and geography in an inter-disciplinary manner by the use of children's literature. This will be accomplished by having fables read to the children and then having them create their own.

Instructional Goals:

1. The students will be able to successfully employ proper research methods.
   
2. The students will be able to demonstrate the use of better communications among diverse cultures.
   
3. The student will become familiar with the fundamental nature of a fable.
   
4. Students will improve their public speaking skills by sharing their fables aloud with the class.

 

Learning Objectives:

1. Students will be able to highlight the key elements of a fable and create and construct an innovative fable story from scratch with the use of resources such as books, internet, and interviews.
2. Students will be able to formulate associations with other ethical and moral beliefs by incorporating them into their fable stories based on their research.
3. Students will be able to depict a scene from their fable by creating an original poster.

 

Motivational Goals:

1. Build confidence in ability to write a story.
2. Generate interest in moral and ethical issues and provide relevance to the student’s personal experience.
