Story Maps

We are learning about the 'characterisitics' (features) of Narratives. On Thursday we spent time realizing that a Narrative always has the following 3 characterisitcs:

Setting:
Characters:
Plot: (the problem and solution)

This weekend students are asked to read any Narrative (fictional story book) and list the following:

This is an example:

Title: The Very Cranky Bear

Setting: Bear's Cave

Characters: Bear, Lion, Sheep, Moose and Zebra.

Plot:
The problem is that bear wants to sleep and the other animals wake him up with their game.
The solution is that sheep uses his wool to make bear a comfy pillow so that he can fall back asleep.


*Students can even record the information they gather in the their agenda's. It's not intended to be overly detailed. We will be working on story maps this week.
