What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students create true or made-up stories through speaking, writing, drawing, or mixed media. They also make sense of stories by identifying characters, setting, event order, and key details.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student creates a focused narrative with characters, a setting, ordered events, and relevant details. As an audience member, the student can retell the story and explain which details shaped its meaning.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may list events without building a clear story. They may leave out details that help an audience understand who, where, when, and why.
How to Assess It
- Show a picture of an abandoned backpack. Ask students to write a six-sentence story, then have a partner identify the setting, main event, and ending.
