Story Review

• Ask students, “What are stories that come from an author’s
  imagination called?”
  
  
  • Stories that come from the author’s imagination are called fiction.
  
  
  
  


• Remind students that fiction stories are often created from people’s
  imaginations; they are not real. Many times the stories are make-
  believe and fantasy with a little bit of reality, or something that is true.


• Remind students that characters are who a story is about.


• Ask students, “Can you name the characters from “The Three Little
  Pigs”?
  
  
  • The characters from “The Three Little Pigs” are the three pigs, the
    mother pig, the man with the straw, the man with the sticks, the man with
    the bricks, and the wolf.
  
  
  
  


• Make sure students have their sequencing cards (Instructional Master
  2B-1) from the Sequencing Events activity in Lesson 2.


• Say to students, “Using your sequencing cards for ‘The Three Little
  Pigs’ tell your partner about the plot of the story. Remember, the plot
  is what happens in a story.” Allow one minute for students to share
  with their partner. Encourage them to use temporal words such as
  first, next, then, and last.
