Story Maps

After reading several versions of the story Goldilocks and the Three Bears, students were introduced to the different elements of a story (e.g., setting, characters, problem, happenings, solution). Students drew story maps to retell the popular story using pictures.

Please practice retelling stories with your child at home! You can use levelled books or library books. Encourage your child to use time words to sequence the events (e.g., first, then, next, after that, finally). Encourage your child to include many details from the story, as well as language from the story (e.g., Papa Bear said "Someone's been eating my porridge!").
