Story Map: The Goose and the Golden Eggs


  • Tell students that you will create a story map for “The Goose and the
    Golden Eggs” together.

  • Choose four students to focus on and record their scores on the
    Tens Recording Chart. For this type of informal observation, you
    should give a score of zero, five, and ten based on your evaluation of
    students’ understanding and language use.


0 Emergent understanding and language use
5 Developing understanding and language use
10 Proficient understanding and language use

Note: Tell students that you are going to write down what they say,
but that they are not expected to be able to read what you write
because they are still learning all the rules for decoding. Emphasize
that you are writing what they say so that you don’t forget, and tell
them that you will read the words to them.


  • Ask students what the people or animals in a story are called. (They
    are called characters.)

  • Ask students who the characters are in the “The Goose and the
    Golden Eggs.” (a farmer and a goose)

  • Ask students what the place where a story takes place is called.
    (Where a story takes place is called the setting.)

  • Ask students what the setting is in this fable. (a farm)

  • Ask students what the events in a story are called. (The events in a
    story are called the plot.)

    fable.
    [You may need to prompt students with text from the first and last
    sentences of the read-aloud. This is also a good opportunity to talk
    about the conventions of beginning a fiction story, e.g., “Once a
    farmer.. .” and ending a fiction story, e.g., “Do you know what he
    found in the goose’s nest? Nothing.”]
