Fun with Character: Sleeping Through the Storm
Click the link above and read the story to the class.
When finished, process the reading with these or similar questions:
Did you understand the meaning of “I can sleep when the wind blows” when it was first said?
How do you think the farmer and his wife felt about the new farmhand after the storm?
How do you think the farmhand felt when he woke up after the storm?
As a student, how can you prepare for storms? (not waiting until the last minute to do chores or homework, stay focused on important things, ask for help when you need it, offer help when you can give it, learn from mistakes/storms how to better prepare the next time, look ahead and anticipate problems.)
