What Makes a Story?

Good morning Grade Fives and Sixes!

We are beginning a unit on story writing. As a starting point, you will listen to a short story in order to see examples of some story features: main character, setting, problem.

A) Please go to Storyline on Line and listen to "My Rotten Redheaded Older Brother".

B) Listen to the story again, however, this time, in your Reading Log (under your Learning Intentions), record details about the following:


 

1.     main character: (everything you can find)

2.     setting: (where the story takes place)

3.     problem: (stories usually have a problem that needs to be solved)

I am very excited about reading your notes!

Love, Mrs. French
