May 22, 2018 by The Storyteller

The Contest between the sun and the wind by Aesop
The Contest between the sun and the wind by Aesop
  • The Contest of the North Wind and the Sun

What is the best way to use our power wisely to solve a problem? Students can tell stories that tell how they might solve certain problems, connecting the action they will take to the result they will create.

Discuss how  “A gentle smile can achieve what brutal force can’t.”

Weather:

Since weather plays a hand in this story, you can also explore the different experiences of sunny days verses windy days and cold verses hot days.

Suggested Focus Ideas

1.  Use of weather words
2.  Discussion on different weather conditions and dressing appropriately.
