In this lesson, we are going to venture into another field of life. The journey towards
reading a short story. I am going to ask you about what has happened to the characters. This
story talks more about life, and in this part, we will be learning reading strategies on reading
narratives. A wonderful skill which is really needed as we go along to different portals in

The teacher then expounds the meaning of the different words. Now, with the selected
partner of the students they are going to make sentences for each of the words in the list.

Component 4: Lesson Activity

Component 4A: Reading the Text

 Teacher displays Narrative, The Hare and the Tortoise. Has anyone read or seen this
story before?

Teacher reads the text and tells class before reading to look out for the answer to the question:
“Who won the race and how did he win it?”

The Hare and the Tortoise

There was once a hare who was friends with a tortoise.

One day, he challenged the tortoise to a race.
Seeing how slow the tortoise was going, the hare thought he would win this easily. So, he
took a nap while the tortoise kept on going.
When the hare woke up, he saw that the tortoise was already at the finish line.
Much to his chagrin, the tortoise won the race while the hare was busy sleeping.

[Adapted from The Hare and the Tortoise by Aesop (c. 620 BCE-564 BCE].

We are going to look at the different parts of a Narrative. A narrative usually has 3 parts:
a beginning, middle and end – but they are not always the same length.

• In the beginning we get the answers to the questions, “Who (characters), where and
when (setting).”
• The middle part is where a problem occurs or something happens to disrupt or confuse
the situation (a ‘crisis’) and leads to a sequence of events that lead to a ‘climax’, a big
event – like the final battle scene in a war movie.
• The end is where the problem is solved, or the action comes to an end as when someone
wins the final battle in a war movie – a resolution.
• We talked about how narratives start, what starts the action and how the action ends
at the start of this lesson. Now you know what happens in each part.

Component 4B: Questions

Teachers will then ask for volunteers from the students and pick questions from the
bowl. This will be done in a Miss Universe format, as such, the teacher acts as the host and
therefore delivers the given questions.

1. Who won the race?

2. Who fell asleep during the race?
3. Why did the hare lose the race?

Component 4C: Questions

The teacher displays another question. The same process of questioning is to be used
by the teacher.

1. What can you say about the moral/lesson of the story?

2. Why did the hare run down the road?
3. How did the characters solve the problem in the story?
4. “The Hare is the villain/bad character in the story” – do you agree? Give reasons.
Component 5: Lesson Conclusion

Teacher displays the questions:

1. The focus of the lesson was on learning about how narratives work. How has the
lesson helped?
2. you to understand this?
3. Which questions were easy to answer? Why?
4. What strategies did you use to answer the harder questions?
