These storyboard activities are awesome for introducing basic story elements and summarizing. This unit covers three popular fables: The Tortoise and the Hare, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, and The Lion and the Mouse. There are places to list characters, beginning, middle and ending, definition of a fable and the lesson or moral taught through the fable. I use colorful file folders for the storyboards, but large manila paper is a smart economical choice.
