Write Your Own Fable!

Last week in Language Arts, we worked on writing our own fables. Some students were having trouble creating their own fable.

When you want to write a fable, you should first choose two characters, one setting, and one moral. Then, make a web and plan your writing.

Examples:

Characters

Setting

Moral

 

A dog

A pig

A wolf

A snake

In the forest

In the desert

Near a lake

Help a friend in need

Treat others with respect

Use this web to plan your writing.

What is the problem? What is the solution?

Now, Think about what happens in the beginning, middle, and end. Beginning:____________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ Middle:___________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ End:____________________________________________________ __________________________________________________

How do your characters learn the moral (lesson) of the story? _____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________
