How the lesson starts: Describe Characters, Settings, and Events

  1. Luna's story stage

    Hi friend! This is Luna the llama. Luna loves to act out stories. Every story needs three things. Who is in it. Where it happens. And what happens. Let's find them!

  2. Who, where, what

    Luna went to the snowy hill. She zoomed down on a sled. She landed in the snow! Let's sort. Luna is the who. The snowy hill is the where. Zooming and landing in snow tell what happened.

  3. Let's match Mia's story

    Mia went to the pond. She lost her key in the mud. She looked and looked. Who is it? Mia, a person. Where is it? At the pond, a place. What happened? She lost her key! Watch out. A place is never a who.
