Step 6

Let’s learn

Teacher shows the questions and asks students to answer.

Answer the questions.

1. What was the king’s idea for teaching an important lesson to his people?
2. What was the response from most of the people?
3. What did the young girl think and do when she saw the coins?

keys:

1. He put a huge stone in the middle of a road, and watched to see if anyone would move it.
2. Most of the people just got upset that the stone was in their way.
3. She thought that the money belonged to someone else and that it should be returned.

This story presented different people’s emotions and responses when they came across the same problem. Complete the table according to the story.

Discuss the questions.

1. What do you think this fable is trying to tell us? Do you think the king was wise? Why or why not?
2. Can you think of times in your own life when you felt and acted like the girl or like the other people in the story? Give examples.

keys:

1. The moral of the story is that we should all take responsibility for our community. I don't think that the king was very wise, however, because no one learnt anything from his experiment. The milkman, the woman with her water pot, and the other villagers continued on their travels without having changed their attitudes at all. The king did find one responsible young girl, but she was already a responsible person before she encountered the stone in the road.
2. There have been times when I have acted responsibly like the girl in the story. For example, I recently saw some children playing on a dangerous balcony, and so I warned them it was dangerous and had them go somewhere else to play. However, often I'm more like the milkman in the story because I'm very busy with my own work and worries.

Do the practice.

-  Familiarize students with analysis skills.

-  Exercise students’ writing skills.

Step 7

Write a review

The main purpose of a review is to give your opinion about a piece of writing. You should first give a short description of the waiting, and then clearly state your opinion and your reasons.

A review of a short story should include the following:

1. Introduction

In the introduction, you should include some basic facts about the story, including the title, the author and the story genre. You should also say something about your opinion of the story, along with your reasons for liking or disliking it.

2. Summary

Briefly summarize the story. Discuss the setting, the main character(s) and the main events or problems that the characters experience. Do not give the ending away!

3. Personal reflection

Discuss what you like or dislike about the story. Give reasons to support your opinion. You may want to compare and contrast the story with other stories you have read by the same author or in the same genre. You can also compare the story to your own personal experience or a current event in the news.

4. Critical analysis

In the critical analysis, some questions to explore are:

What is the author’s purpose for writing the story? Is the author successful in achieving this purpose?

What is the setting of the story? Is it appropriate to the genre?

How well are the characters developed? Do they think, feel, speak and act in a believable way?

How well is the plot structured? Is the action suspenseful enough? Are the events too predictable?

What is the theme, or the central idea, of the story?

Does the story have a ‘coda’, or a lesson? What is it?

Does the story have a ‘twist’, or an unexpected ending?

Does the author use any literary devices, such as metaphor, simile, or alliteration?

5. Conclusion

In the conclusion, you should evaluate the story and either recommend it or not recommend it to others, depending on whether you think it is worthwhile reading.

Before you begin writing the review, make sure you read the story closely and take good notes.

Write a review of the fable. Use the outline below to help you.

What is the title of the story?

What kind of story is It?

What is the mam idea of the story?

What is the author’s purpose?

Were the details of the story clear?

Do you think the story achieved its purpose?

What did you like about the story?

What did you not like about the story?

Would you recommend this story to others?

Sample

"The Stone in the Road" is an old fable about a king who thinks his people are lazy, so he puts a large stone in the middle of the road and hides and waits to see if anyone will try to move it.

The author used this story to impress upon readers the need to take personal responsibility for problems in the community. The story was quite successful in achieving its purpose, and I liked it because it had a clear moral.

However, while the moral of the story is clear, the actions of the king seemed pointless to me, because none of the characters in the story learnt anything. For this reason, I think there are better stories that can be used to impress upon people the need for personal responsibility.

Students learn how to write.

Does the description include the most important details of the story?

Does the writer give his/her opinion about the characters or their actions?

Is the review welt-organized?

Does the writer use the -ing form as the adverbial in the review?

Are there any grammar, spelling, or punctuation errors?

Get your draft back and revise it.

Use what they have learnt to check their partner’s writing.
