EAST ALLEN COUNTY SCHOOLS Bundle 3 Grade 2 Language Arts Story Elements Big Idea: Connections Enduring Understandings Essential Questions We write with our readers in mind. How are reading and writing connected? Paying attention to characters, setting, and plot will help us make connections to the story. How do the characters, setting, and plot help us understand the story? What can readers do to find the meaning of new words in a story? Readers use clues in their reading to understand the meaning of new words. What connections can we make when comparing stories? Comparing literature teaches us how stories are alike and different.

App Bundle Performance Task(s) After listening to an original fairytale (Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, etc.) read aloud, the students will determine the different points of view of the main characters. They will develop a different ending to the fairytale and orally present the story summary. Read aloud another version of the same fairytale. Using a double bubble map(NUA strategy), Venn diagram, or graphic organizer, students will compare and contrast the characters, settings, and plots in both fairytales. Students will write a personal narrative that includes them as the main character, and develops the setting and plot. The students will use the writing process to create a story that is clear to the reader and uses complete sentences. They will then share the favorite part of their story with the entire class or small groups of students. As an extension, students will create posters of a main character in the fairy tale incorporating the personality traits taught through Character Counts. The characters may demonstrate a positive or negative example of the traits.
