Story Review

• Ask students, “What kind of story is ‘The Wolf and the Seven Little
  Kids’?”
  
  
  • “The Wolf and the Seven Little Kids” is fiction. “The Wolf and the Seven
    Little Kids” is a folktale.
  
  
  
  


• Remind students that folktales are one type of fiction—it is a story
  made up from a person’s imagination. Some parts of it can be real
  and some parts of it are make-believe, or fantasy.


• Remind students that a folktale is a story that is passed down orally
  from person to person.


• Make sure that students have their pages from the Sequencing Events
  activity (Instructional Master 4B-1) in Lesson 4.


• Say to students, “Using your sequencing cards for “The Wolf and the
  Seven Little Kids,” tell your partner about the plot, or events, of the
  story.” Allow one minute for students to talk. Then call on a partner
  pair to share the plot of the story.
