Write Your Own Fable
Day 1 – First Draft
You have done some preliminary work on your fable. You have thought about the animals and their characteristics and about a situation in which to embed the fable. Do you have a moral in mind? Or a fable that you would like to retell in your own style or updated to the present day? Write your first draft! And give it to a parent or sibling to read and ask them to tell you what they like about it and what could be improved.
Day 2 – Second Draft
Incorporate the feedback you received from your parent or sibling into a second draft of your fable. Then record yourself reading it with expression.
Day 3 – Third Draft
Listen to the recording of your fable that you made. What works well? What might not work as well as it could? Revise your fable accordingly.
Day 4 – Final Draft
Recopy your fable in your finest handwriting. Illustrate it.
