What Students Need to Do

Students notice how authors use setting, event order, actions, speech, and feelings to make a story clear. They use these techniques when telling, drawing, or writing their own stories.

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can point out details that show the setting, event order, character actions, speech, or feelings. The student uses some of these techniques in an oral, drawn, or written story.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may retell the plot without naming the details that help readers understand it. They may list events out of order or leave out the setting, character feelings, or a clear ending.

04

How to Assess It

Give students a four-sentence picture story. Ask, "Underline words that show where the story happens, then add one sentence showing what the character says or feels."

1. 01

   Use picture cards from a familiar tale; students sequence them, then retell the story with a clear beginning, middle, and ending.

2. 02

   After a read-aloud, ask, "Which words help you picture the setting or understand the character’s feelings?"

3. 03

   Students draw cards labeled setting, action, dialogue, or feeling and add that technique to a shared class story.

4. 04

   Students recount a real classroom event, such as a spill, using ordered events and one detail about someone’s response.
