Hello!
Elephants have been working very hard in Reading! Characters, Setting, Problem, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, and Solution are all part of a story's plot. The plot is used to create a summary. Third graders created a Roller Coaster to learn about plot and then performed and wrote a summary for a story, The First Day Jitters.
The following links and QR codes are videos of the summary. Students are playing an "improv" game. They can only say one word at a time. Students must listen to each other to complete a sentence to explain the story. I love how they encourage each other by quietly cheering each other on. Enjoy!!!
