Character/Setting/Plot Template Directions
.
Use this Character/Setting/Plot template to help work on
comprehension skills of grade level literature and adapted
stories with your students. You can use these pages for sorting,
matching, and answering questions regarding the selected story.
Copy and paste the appropriate Characters, Setting, and Plot
pictures/symbols from your adapted story CDs, the internet, or
scanned pictures from the books themselves,
Print the Character/Setting/Plot pages and these picture/word
cards on cardstock. Cut out the pictures then laminate, if
possible. Use the soft side of sticky-back Velcro™ on the pages
and rough Velcro™ on the backs of the pictures. (Aileen’s Tack
It Over and Over™ can be utilized on the backs of laminated
pictures as an alternate adhesive.)
Bind the pages with a plastic binder to hold the pages together.
*Teaching and assessment tips:
Use the cards and pages to teach the story’s Characters, Setting
and Plot. Choose the black bordered symbols or the colorcoded symbols based upon student needs.
You can then use the same activity to assess student
comprehension of the story. Print out the pages and pictures for
students to cut and paste as their final assessment. This
student work then becomes documentation which can be
submitted as a student work sample.
