Miss England, a second-grade teacher, guides students through reading 'After the Fall' by Dan Santat. The lesson focuses on two main skills: recounting a story using the 5-finger retell method and determining the central message. The 5-finger retell involves identifying the main character, their desires, challenges, actions, and resolution. The central message is derived by analyzing the problem, the character's response, and the lesson learned. The story of Humpty Dumpty overcoming his fear of heights is used to illustrate these concepts, teaching students to face their fears and not give up.
