The teacher should then narrate in clear, simple language the story of Moses in Midian, dividing it into parts such as: Moses at the well, his home with Jethro, the appearance of the Burning Bush, his talk with God, his excuses, God's proof of power to help, his setting out to do God's will. In Form I it may be advisable to question, during the story, to ascertain if the language and ideas are understood, but reproduction of each part as it is narrated will probably result in a loss of attention and a lack of interest in the remainder of the story. The reproduction should, therefore, be taken after the completion of the story. In Form II very short topic-phrases may be written on the black-board. These will serve as a guide to the pupils in the oral or written reproduction that follows. If illustrated story-books containing this story are in the library, pupils of Form II may be asked to read them. When practicable, an exercise in sight reading may follow this kind of lesson. The teacher may have slips containing sections of the story prepared beforehand, and may give them to the pupils for sight reading. FORMS I AND II THE FIRST THANKSGIVING Materials: A set of pictures showing "The Mayflower in Plymouth Harbour"; "The Landing of the Pilgrims"; "The Pilgrims going to Church"; "Plymouth Rock"; "The Spinning Wheel." (Perry Picture Co. pictures) A map of the western coast of Europe and the eastern coast of America drawn on the black-board. Introduction: A talk on Thanksgiving Day as celebrated now--the returning of thanks to God for a bountiful harvest, the general good-will prevailing, the dinner. How and when did this custom originate? Presentation: The teacher tells the story of the emigration of the Pilgrim Fathers, and shows the pictures that illustrate the different parts of the story. The voyage is traced on the map and the landing-place in America marked. This should be followed by a spirited reading of Mrs. Hemans' _The Landing of the Pilgrim Fathers_, and the telling of _The First Thanksgiving_. (See Appendix.) A simple version of this story may be given to pupils in Form I, accompanied by such construction work, in paper cutting and colouring, and in modelling, as they can do. FORM II FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE
