Instructional Ideas

• Include in a reading or language assessment
• Use in a unit on Aesop's fables or literary themes
• For English language learners, read the passages with the correct answers first, then see if class members can complete the activity on their own after hearing it modeled

Classroom Considerations

• Two of the pictures are in color, but should print in black and white without affecting comprehension
• Doesn't include an answer key

Pros

• Helpful for both ELD classes and mainstream classes
• Each story starts on a new page, making it easy to split up the packet if necessary

Cons

• None
