You must have read stories of wit, humour, and wisdom in your own language or English. Make a list of these stories that you have read on a chart paper. Each student should read at least one new story from the list.
Students should create a chart paper display listing stories of wit, humour, and wisdom from various sources.
The chart should include: story titles, source language (English or regional languages), brief one-line descriptions, and student names who recommended each story.
After creating the chart, each student should select and read at least one new story from the list, then share their thoughts with the class.
This activity builds a collaborative reading resource and exposes students to diverse storytelling traditions.
