Characters Anchor Chart
An anchor chart defines characters as 'the people or animals that the story is about' and then focuses on the main character, describing them as the most important character and the one central to the story's action. The chart is provided in two matching versions: a fully completed reference page for teacher display, and a second page with key words removed as blanks (e.g., 'the ______ or _______ that the story is about' and 'The MOST __________ CHARACTER'), letting a teacher use it as a fill-in-the-blank activity with students during a shared reading or mini-lesson. Once students can identify a story’s main character, the roll a story printable lets them apply that concept by rolling a character, setting, and story-line into an original story idea.

PLOT: The FIVE Elements of a Story Graphic Organizers
Ten plot-focused graphic organizers guide students through mapping a story's five elements — introduction, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution — using formats that range from a classic Plot Pyramid and Story Cycle to a Prediction Tree, a nine-box Sequence Chain, and a two-column Changes-in-Plot chart. Two introductory instructional pages explain how to use the ten templates; the Plot Analysis format, for example, also asks students to identify point of view, foreshadowing, and symbolism alongside the standard plot stages. Because every organizer is a blank template, teachers supply the story or text students will map onto it.

Together the four pages form a two-part anchor chart set meant to be posted for reference and then reinforced through an interactive-notebook-style blank version students complete in their own notes.
