Introduction

The lesson will be based on the book titled “The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ by Eric Carle. 

Setting

The story is set in nature or outside in a field with some leafy plants. It is at night, under the moonlight.

Beginning

The story starts with an egg laying on a green leaf. It is night, and there is moonlight.

Sunday Morning

On Sunday morning, the Sun rises. The egg hatches into a very hungry and tiny caterpillar. The caterpillar starts to move around, looking for something to eat because it is hungry.

Monday

The little hungry and green caterpillar eats one apple on Monday. However, he is still hungry. Since he was not satisfied, he continued looking for more food.

Saturday

He eats one piece of ice cream cone, cheese, and salami. He also eats a lollipop, one sausage, and watermelon. Eating too much made the caterpillar's stomach hurt.

Sunday

The caterpillar ate through a green leaf and started feeling better. He had grown into a fat and big caterpillar and was satisfied. The caterpillar built a cocoon around himself. He stayed in the cocoon for two weeks where he turned into a beautiful butterfly.
