Grab this 34 page FREE packet to use when teaching story elements (character, setting, problem and solution) in your classroom. Many of the worksheets/graphic organizers can be used for any text.
I love the activity, BUT it's not clear. Can you please provide a clear copy? I know it's free and I'm asking for a lot, but I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance! My email address is dstgirl9of9@yahoo.com.
Cool stuff to work with and graphics are adorable!

Homeschooling family - excited to find materials like what I used when I was a 6-8th Language Arts teacher! These look engaging and simple. Can't wait to use them with our next novel!

When I download this packet, a lot of pages are "blacked out" so you cant see the information on them. Example pages are character chat, quick note, snack chat, etc.
It sounds like you need to update your Adobe. Are you using a MAC?
If you ARE on a MAC, I suggest you try doing this:
Good luck!!!
This sometimes happens when PDFs are opened in the Mac's native PDF program ('Preview') instead of Adobe Reader. So you'll need to open this with the latest Adobe Reader which can be downloaded from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/
IMPORTANT PART! :) Don't open the file by clicking on it (as this will automatically open it with Preview). Instead, launch Adobe Reader then go to 'File'-->'Open...', and select the PDF that way."
If you are NOT on a MAC, I suggest opening a ticket with TPT using this link: https://support.teacherspayteachers.com/Report-An-Issue.html
Thanks so much! So sorry for the inconvenience. xoxo

Love the pack! Just a question, when I downloaded it, there were black bars where I think there should have been text. For example, on snack/chat, it's just black bars. Could it be that I'm on a Mac?
Yes!!! It's because you are on a MAC. This is what TPT Support sent to another teacher who was having the same issues. I hope it helps! :)

Hi, A Year of Many Firsts! This packet looks great, but I don't have at least one of the fonts you are using. It is the one you used on the pages headed "A Quick Note:" "Problem And Solution:" "Snack and Chat"pages; the heading on the Character Traits page; and the top box on the right on the "Character Chat" page. There's a couple others, but thought that might help. Would like to download that font, so I can utilize this awesome packet. Thanks in advance for your help. Beth Leibold, Texas
Hi there! The file is saved as a PDF so the fonts stay intact. You won't need to download any fonts in order for them to work on your computer.

Hi! Thank you for a great free resource. I was wondering if I downloaded incorrectly, because some of the wording has been blanked out. Is there a way to fix this?
Hi there, I'm so sorry! This is an easy fix. It sounds like you may need to download the newest version of Adobe. I've heard that can be a problem sometimes from other sellers.
Here is the link to get the newest version of adobe:

Hi! Your Stupendous Story Elements download is AWESOME - thank you!
When I open it, I have strange black lines across several of the pages - on the cover below the graphic, for example, and on the page that says, "A Quick Note".
Just wondering how to see the text for those areas?
Hi everyone! My name is Lyndsey. I am a first grade (third year) teacher. Teaching first grade is magical! I love being a part of my students growth and progress as they experience many of their "firsts" in life.
