Teachers, save “CKLA Fables-The Fox and the Grapes — Sto…” to assign it to your class.

Teacher Notes (not visible to students)

This activity uses the read-aloud of "The Fox and the Grapes" to practice retelling, identifying character motives, and stating the moral. Use the video page for a whole-group listen. Then have students complete the Think About It and Solve It pages independently or in pairs. Prepare simple drawing materials if students will draw responses; devices should have camera/microphone enabled for multimedia responses. For the open-ended Think About It question, a high-quality answer names one clear thing learned (for example: "The fox said the grapes were sour because he couldn't reach them") and asks a specific follow-up question (for example: "Why didn't the fox try a different way to reach them?"). For the Show It prompt, a strong response shows the part of the story with the fox near the grapes and explains or depicts his reaction (drawing, short video, or photo with voice). Teachers can mark answers correct when they show the event and a plausible explanation tied to the story.
