Story Review

• Review the characters, setting, and plot of the story “The Princess
  and the Pea.” If you have created a large Character, Setting, Plot Map

  first, next, then, after that, later, and finally. In particular, have students
  begin the story with the phrase “once upon a time.”

  Cards 7–12 as they retell the story.


• Remind students that “The Princess and the Pea” is a fairy tale and
  not real.
