The Lost Wig Aesop's Fable

Tier 1 The Story

The Lost Wig A funny old lion, who had the misfortune to lose his mane, was wearing a wig as he was taking a stroll on a very windy day. Looking up, he spied one of the charming Tiger sisters across the street, and, wishing to make an impression, smiled blandly and made a beautiful low bow.

At that moment a very smart gust of wind came up, and the consequence was that his wig flew off and left him there, feeling foolish and looking worse, with his bald head glistening like a billiard ball. Though somewhat embarrassed at first, he smiled at the Lady and said: "Is it a wonder that another fellow's hair shouldn't keep on my head, when my own wouldn't stay there?"

Discussion High Level Strategies with Ladder A & C Questions Tier 2 Discussion High Level Strategies with Ladder A & C Questions

Discussion Strategies: Think-Pair-Share, Write-around, 3-4 Podcast slides (Pixie, PPT). A1--1. Share five passages from the story that state the first five important events that take place. A2--2. In your opinion what caused the lion to bow and using evidence from the story show the effect of his actions. C1--3. Explain the character of the lion. Do you notice any key words that might be significant in describing the lion? If so, what are the words and why do you think the author chose them?

Discussion High Level Strategies with Ladder A & C Questions Tier 3 Discussion High Level Strategies with Ladder A & C Questions

Discussion Strategies: Think-Pair-Share, Write-around, 3-4 Podcast slides (Pixie, PPT). A3--1. If you were the author, what would you write to happen next in the story of the Lost Wig? What might be the consequences of the ideas that you write? C2--2. Explain what the lion expected would happen when he bowed? What evidence from the story supports your answer? C3--3. In your own words, describe the lesson or moral for this story and defend your reasoning.

Tier 4 Reflections

Choose one of the writing ideas to complete. Be creative. 1. The lion wanted to make an impression on those around him. Write about a time when you wanted to impress someone. What actions did you plan and put into practice? What were the consequences or implications from your actions? 2. Pretend to be the lion and you are very upset the way you look without your wig. It is not funny to you. What might happen and how is the atmosphere between you and the tiger? Be creative with either question you choose to complete. Here are some suggested project strategies: Write a podcast script; create a puppet show; develop a PSA; a PowerPoint presentation; write and be an actor in a skit; write a persuasive speech and give before the class.
