Product description

From the author

This worksheet is a great way for students to practice identifying story elements in a book. By drawing pictures and writing a sentence for each, they will be able to better understand and remember the characters, setting, and big events in the book.

In the classroom

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Identify the characters in a story heard aloud

  • Describe where the story takes place

  • Select and represent an important story event with a picture and sentence

Teaching tips

  • Pause after the read-aloud to name the three response categories before learners begin drawing.

  • Ask learners to pair each picture with a sentence that names the same character, setting, or event.

  • Use the big-event section to discuss why one event matters to the story rather than listing every action.

Skills covered

  • Listening comprehension — learners recall story information presented through a teacher read-aloud.

  • Story-element analysis — characters, setting, and a major event are identified separately.

  • Written and visual response — each story element is represented through both drawing and sentence writing.
