What Makes a Book a Story?

This lesson is designed to introduce students to the concepts of characters, setting and the sequence of events that make a story complete. This lesson allows teachers to choose from three different book suggestions to engage the class in group discussions on how these story elements make the story complete. Students will have time to work with a shoulder partner to discuss the characters, the setting of the story and the sequence of events in a story. Students are given time to work with these concepts independently to further grasp their own understanding and practice using the concepts in an oral presentation.
