Students recount fictional stories that include, but are not limited to, fables and folktales from many different cultures. Students also establish the central messages, morals, or lessons of the stories.
In the Classroom:
Students use the major events of stories and the actions of the characters to determine the messages, morals, or lessons the author is trying to convey.
During whole group reading, the teacher uses story maps and graphic organizers to map the events and key details of a story, lesson or central message.
The teacher asks students questions about a character’s actions, and students work with partners to use key details about the main character to discuss the central message, lesson, or moral.
To understand the central message or lesson, students track characters from the beginning of the story to the end of the story, and then determine what the characters learned.
