Through small group discussions, students will express questions and thoughts about the characters, fostering collaborative learning. The lesson concludes by encouraging students to connect their favorite characters to their own storytelling experiences. Various assessments will measure student participation and comprehension, while extensions and adaptations will ensure inclusivity and challenge for all learners.
