 Students need Language notebooks, pencils. Proeject the passage below on a Smarboard or LCD if possible.
 First page of Reynard the Fox. Copy and paste the following into a separate document and copy for your students. Highlighters. Grammar notebook.
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Long ago in a faraway kingdom, young Prince Harold and his beautiful bride, Caroline, were crowned king and queen. Kinights and ladies, bishops and merchants, nobles and common folks—subjects from all corners of the realm—came to Court for the coronation. Everyone happily joined in the celebration—everyone, that is, but the new king. <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; “Why are you so sad? asked Queen Caroline.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Young Harold sighed. “I am not ready to be king,” he answered. “I have not earned the wisdom to rule. There are many in this kingdom who do not listen to me, who even covet my throne. My new subjects are greedy and constantly fight among theselves. And I am distressed that I don’t know how to deal with them, how to rule them wisely. What am I to do?” <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Queen Caroline understood her husband’s misgivings and thought for some time before she said, “I have heard stories of someone who may be able to help us.” <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; “Give me his name,” said King Harold.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; “I do not know his name,” answered the queen. “But I have been told there is a wise hermit who lives among wild animals ina cave deep in the forest. Many seek him out for advice on matters simple and grave. No one knows where he comes from, how long he had been in the forest, or how he gained his wisdom. But it is known for certain that he has helped many of our subjects.” <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; “My queen, you are very clever!” said the king. “Summon this mysterious hermit to our court.” <br><br>
