“Thank you!” said the farmer. Then he made a big pot of yam soup and everyone had some.

• Explain that, sometimes, we can learn a lesson from a story by paying attention to the way the characters behave. • Discuss what pupils think the lesson of this story is. Write options on the board: a) Everyone needs a dog. b) We can do big things if we help each other. c) You must always tell the truth. ICT Extension: Search for a YouTube video of the story, ‘The Enormous Turnip’, and show it to the class. Discuss how the story in the video is the same as ‘The Big Yam’ and how it is different.
