The Bundle of Sticks - An Aesop's Fable
Summary and moral of the Fable:
The Fable of The Bundle of Sticks is that an old man who is about to pass away calls his sons around him and has a servant bring in a bundle of sticks, he tells his sons to break the sticks, but they struggle to break the bundle. Then he tells his sons to take out 1 twig from the bundle and continue to break them that way. Now the 3 sons have managed to break the bundle of sticks. The moral of the story is to do things one at a time, instead of jumbling everything together and trying to complete it.
In an Oakhill environment context:
I will take this moral of the fable by changing the father to a teacher and the sons into students. Then I will change the bundle of sticks into homework or an assignment. The father is like a teacher telling his/her students that if they attempt to question or assignment and do so in an organised order/ schedule, then the students will find it easier to complete the task given to them.

Excellent use of 'Story That'. Consider context - maybe a weaker student could be totally disorganised, missing soccer training, the bus, getting overwhelmed with numerous assignments etc. Finally we end up in the class room where the boys are on detention and the teacher explains the need to start tasks when they are initially given to the class. To work on each task a little at a time, keeping a firm eye on due dates.
