https://padlet.com/if00249/s5huzg7eys0f This is a curation of resources perfect for teaching the Georgia Performance Standard ELAGSE4RL3. This standard asks that students are able to describe in depth the character, setting, or events in a story while drawing specific details from the text. To accomplish this I have compiled videos, worksheets and websites to not only use for this topic but, many others in future lessons. By using these resources, not only will students be able to accomplish this task but, have a firm and fun understanding of the process to do so. en-us 2018-09-10 00:19:18 UTC 2025-11-18 00:06:56 UTC hello@padlet.com if00249 https://padlet.com/if00249/s5huzg7eys0f/wish/279222902 This link is to a video introducing the five most important elements when reading. The format is in a fun hip hop song and attached to another new classroom tool called flocabulary.]]> 2018-09-10 00:38:08 UTC https://padlet.com/if00249/s5huzg7eys0f/wish/279222902 if00249 https://padlet.com/if00249/s5huzg7eys0f/wish/279225392 This worksheet provides an opportunity for students to go beyond identification and description. They are creating the elements themselves to construct a story to gain a deeper understanding of how the elements intertwine.]]> 2018-09-10 00:55:04 UTC https://padlet.com/if00249/s5huzg7eys0f/wish/279225392 if00249 https://padlet.com/if00249/s5huzg7eys0f/wish/279226683 This worksheet provides students a short excerpt of the book "Alice and Wonderland". Since many students are familiar with the story it eases them into the concept of needing supports when answering questions to identify the story elements.]]> 2018-09-10 01:05:22 UTC https://padlet.com/if00249/s5huzg7eys0f/wish/279226683 if00249 https://padlet.com/if00249/s5huzg7eys0f/wish/279227261 This worksheet provides students with more practice to support their identification of the story elements. However, this worksheet gives students a break of writing and an opportunity to use those colorful pencils and crayons they love so much. Providing students a way to colorfully demonstrate their knowledge gives an edge of creativity to a worksheet.]]> 2018-09-10 01:09:14 UTC https://padlet.com/if00249/s5huzg7eys0f/wish/279227261 if00249 https://padlet.com/if00249/s5huzg7eys0f/wish/279227473 This video provides an interesting twist on identifying story elements since there are no words. In this video students will be challenged to observe the child's surroundings and facial expressions to interpret all that is happening and identify the story elements.]]> 2018-09-10 01:10:31 UTC https://padlet.com/if00249/s5huzg7eys0f/wish/279227473 if00249 https://padlet.com/if00249/s5huzg7eys0f/wish/279229358 This worksheet format will likely be something students are familiar with prior to coming to fourth grade. However, it likely involves more boxes by requiring the student break the story into three parts. This could act as a great grade level transition worksheet or as a challenge. To amp it up students may be required to not only identify all five elements but write their textual supports in the boxes as well.]]> 2018-09-10 01:23:49 UTC https://padlet.com/if00249/s5huzg7eys0f/wish/279229358 if00249 https://padlet.com/if00249/s5huzg7eys0f/wish/279230640 This is a whole group activity that would be led by the teacher. After reading a book, a short story, or watching a movie a class can come together to identify the various characteristics. The teacher can make various Velcro options for each story read to allow student participation by sticking the appropriate trait to the board.]]> 2018-09-10 01:33:46 UTC https://padlet.com/if00249/s5huzg7eys0f/wish/279230640 if00249 https://padlet.com/if00249/s5huzg7eys0f/wish/279231479 This link includes numerous books that are age appropriate and lend well to reading to the entire class.
