3 Introduction RL.K.5: Types of text RL.K.7: Illustrations RL.K.10: Group reading activities with purpose Introducing the Story Each student receives a copy of The Clever Monkey. Preview the book together looking at each picture and making predictions. Discuss the meaning of the word clever. Explain: This is a folktale that started in Africa. Use a map or a globe as a visual aid. Africa has a very warm tropical climate. Africa has rain forests with lots of trees that create a great home for many animals, including monkeys. African people place great importance on storytelling. Many of the stories or folktales from Africa involve animals that assume human personalities. Some of the stories teach a lesson. Listen carefully so you know what lesson The Clever Monkey teaches. Read the story aloud as the students follow along in their own books. Pause on each page to ask the children, based on the story and the illustrations, how the animals have assumed human personalities. Page 3 of 12
4 Discussion Questions RL.K.1: Details in text RL.K.3: Identify characters, settings, and events For Assessing Comprehension Who are the three characters in the book? What did the cats find? What were the cats arguing about? What did the monkey offer to do? Why did the monkey keep eating little bits of the cheese? How did the cats feel when they were left with tiny pieces of cheese? How did the monkey feel? How did the book end? Why was the monkey clever? What lesson does the story teach? Page 4 of 12

6 SL.K.6/ SL.K.5: Types of text, role of author and illustrator Illustration Tell students: Cats have always stimulated peoples imaginations. There are many stories and superstitions about cats. It seems as if people either like or dislike cats. There is not much middle ground. Take a survey to determine how many students like cats and how many dislike cats. Teacher asks students to form opinions about both cats behavior in the story. Discuss each of these expressions below and have students illustrate one of these folk sayings about cats.

8 Dramatic Arts RL.K.7: Illustrations RL.K.1: Collaborative conversations Pantomime Explain to students that pantomime is an important part of African storytelling. Good storytellers can use body language and facial expressions to help tell a story. Look at the illustrations in the book. The animals say so much with the expression on their faces and with the position of their bodies. Students are divided into groups of three. They practice acting out the story using pantomime only. Each group performs for the class. Page 8 of 12
