Instructional Ideas

• Since there are no lines in the boxes, learners could also draw pictures to represent what happened in the story
• Invite pupils to work with partners to complete the chart
• Add some creative writing into your class and have your youngsters come up with a title and beginning, middle, and end for their own picture books

Pros

• The chart can be used for any book you are working on in class or that pupils have been reading independently

Cons

• None
