A great activity to help your students practice how to site their evidence in the text. It also helps students learn the parts of stories, dramas, and poems. (e.g., chapters, scenes, and stanzas).

REMEMBER: Text is more than just words. It includes any resource from written, illustrations, audio, and video.

STUDENTS NEED TO GO DEEPER!*Students need to understand that every narrative has a problem and solution.

*Plot is more than just beginning, middle, and end.

*Students need to understand how the parts of the story build upon each other.

*Improve the graphic organizers you use to help students dive deeper in the text so they can gain greater understanding .

I am a student at Mapletown Elementary. I have a lot of friends in my third grade classroom. My favorite thing to do is stand on my hands upside down. I’m pretty good at it and win all kinds of contests at recess with my friends.

Third PersonSarah walked briskly with her friend Adam

into school. Adam didn’t know that she

was in a hurry to get to the library before

class. She listened to his story about his dog but she really just wanted to walk faster. What if the book was already

checked out? What would she do for her project?
