Directions: Print each slide (on cardstock if possible for increased durability) then cut out each picture and laminate each. -Add a small piece of rough Velcro® to the backs of each picture to use to
complete the character/setting/plot graphic organizers or to use with felt/velcro boards.
-Use materials to assess students’ comprehension via types of activities listed above
ELACC3RL1: Ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a text, referring explicitly to the text as the basis for the answers.
ELACC4RL1: Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.
ELACC5RL1: Quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.
ELACC6RL1: Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
ELACC7RL1: Cite several pieces of textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
ELACC8RL1: Cite the textual evidence that most strongly supports an analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
To cite evidence of what the text says explicitly -- Use these pictures with the story “How to Eat Fried Worms”, either the adapted PowerPoint version or the original version of the story, for instruction and assessment of students’ abilities to:
- answer comprehension questions about the story- retell the story - provide character/setting/plot information - sequence events in the story
Common Core GPS
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 color-coded 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.
