- Student(s) will be able to orally express what it means when a story has a moral.
Accommodation for Students with Special Needs:
Reduce distractions to the student(s).
• Student(s) may be placed at a table in the classroom that is separated from high
traffic areas (e.g. bathroom sign out sheet, sink and/or water fountain, near the
classroom entry where hallway traffic can be a distraction).
• Student(s) may wear headphones that block out noise while they read.
• Student(s) should be placed in an area of the classroom that is appropriately lit (i.e.
the area is not too bright or too dim, there is no sunlight that is coming in at an
angle that may interfere with the student(s) ability to do work).
Modifications for Students with Special Needs:
1. Highlight the key information in the text that develops the moral of the story.
Possible morals and the appropriate text to highlight:
Moral: Help is there when it is needed the most; Highlight:
• “But Omoni, the jar is full,” Pear Blossom protested. “A frog helped me.”
• “Will none in this world help me?” In a matter of minutes the sparrows had
polished the rice and piled it in a corner.
• “Who could do such a task?” The ox began to munch the weeds, moving
through the rows of rice faster than the wind itself.
Moral: Good things happen to those who _____ (accept: work hard, are patient,
are kind); Highlight:
• “Both Omoni and Peony were jealous of Pear Blossom, and the harder she
worked, the happier they were.”

• “She cooked and cleaned until midnight, with only the crickets for company.”
• “Each year was worse than the one before, for her father grew too feeble to pay
attention to Pear Blossom’s troubles”
• “She bowed, then cupped her hands and called, ‘A thousand thanks!”
• “‘Then she must deserve me as her husband,’ said the magistrate, “for this
lucky shoe has led me to her.”
2. Read text to the student(s) that measures comprehension and not decoding.
• This can be done in the general education classroom, by an inclusion assistant or
a special educator. This must be executed in a quiet, distraction-free part of the
classroom.
• Have student(s) interact as the text is being read. Have them answer questions
about the text as you read it or upon finishing a page with important highlighted
information.
Multicultural and Diverse Perspectives:
Explain to students that the story is a Korean version of Cinderella. The author, Shirley
Climo, retells the story based on three variations of a tale that has been told in Korea for
centuries. The author and the illustrator, Ruth Heller, incorporate traditional Korean
patterns and traits of Korean tales into the story that symbolize Korean heritage. The
story also contains Korean words:
• Omani - mother
• Hai - sun
• Tokgabi - goblin
• Ewha - pear blossom

As the story is read, point out these words and their meanings.
Possible Modification of Plans:
Given the “What’s the moral?” story paper worksheet, students will write the moral of
the story that they identified then draw and label a picture that represents the moral of
the story.
Pre-Assessment:
Students will complete the following short answer responses:
1. What does it mean when a story has a moral?
2. Think of a story you have read. In the space below, write the title, write the
moral of the story, and write 3 key details from the story to support your
answer.
Anticipatory Set:

reader using key details in the story.
Students will work with a partner to complete the “Moral Matching” activity. In this
activity, students will develop their understanding of story morals and understand that
many stories contain a lesson that the author wants to convey to the reader. Each
student-partner pair will be given eight cards. Four of the cards will have a familiar story
title and a story summary, the other four cards will have a moral that matches each of
