Question

list what each of the six blind men said about the elephant​

Answer 1

Answer:

A group of blind men heard that a strange animal, called an elephant, had been brought to the town, but none of them were aware of its shape and form. Out of curiosity, they said: "We must inspect and know it by touch, of which we are capable". So, they sought it out, and when they found it they groped about it. The first person, whose hand landed on the trunk, said, "This being is like a thick snake". For another one whose hand reached its ear, it seemed like a kind of fan. As for another person, whose hand was upon its leg, said, the elephant is a pillar like a tree-trunk. The blind man who placed his hand upon its side said the elephant, "is a wall". Another who felt its tail, described it as a rope. The last felt its tusk, stating the elephant is that which is hard, smooth and like a spear.

Author:

Gail Ellis

In The Blind Men and the Elephant, by American poet John Godfrey Saxe (1816-1887), six blind men meet an elephant for the first time and each man touches a different part of the elephant and makes predictions about what the elephant is like.

The sequence and activities suggested below could be spread over two or three lessons depending on the amount of detail you wish to go into. Begin and end each subsequent lesson with a retelling of the story.

Aims

To learn elephant and story-related vocabulary

To listen and respond to instructions

To learn adjectives to describe objects

To listen and understand the general meaning of a story and make predictions

To learn an elephant rhyme to practise rhythm and rhyme

To help children understand the importance of using all evidence and listening to other people before coming to a conclusion

To ask simple yes/no questions using adjectives

Materials

A sheet of white A4 paper for each child for the picture dictation

Objects for the feely box or bag

Stage 1: Picture dictation

Tell children you are going to tell them a story but first they are going to draw a picture of an animal and they must guess what it is.

Explain that you are going to dictate some instructions to draw the animal. Use mime to help convey the meaning of unfamiliar words.

Draw a semi-circle on the board and two small eyes on the left side. It is best to practise this activity a few times yourself before doing it with the children to ensure that you give them clear instructions.

Now dictate the following instructions at least twice:

Copy the semi-circle and eyes on to the middle of your paper.

Draw four legs.

Draw two big ears.

Draw a long, thin tail.

Draw a long trunk.

Draw two tusks.

Repeat the instructions again, adding each feature to your drawing on the board. Say the words pointing to the eyes, ears, legs, body, tail, trunk and tusks and invite pupils to repeat.

When the drawings are competed ask pupils to show them to each other and then to colour them. Check everyone has an elephant!
