Description

A story map that is aligned to the kindergarten and 1st grade Common Core standards of Reading/Language Arts to help student identify key ideas and details of a story. This story map focuses on identifying the characters, setting, problem and solution of stories.

Lesson Plan with printable Character, Setting, Problem and Solution cards included!!

A list of which common core standards this story map and lesson plan is aligned to is also included.

Works well with entire classroom or in small groups.

I have used this in my classroom with fantastic results. The students gain independence in looking for the characters, setting, problem and solution in stories they read on a much more independent basis. The students love getting a chance to be the "teacher" during the Lesson Plan Activity.

Thanks for looking! Enjoy!

My first grade newcomer ELL students have been able to use this resource with multiple stories. We use the main paper when practicing with new genres of stories, and then when it is time for me to see if they understand the 4 sections of the story map, they can do it.

Page 2 is the perfect visual to use with my students that are working on answering questions about story elements or wh-questions related to stories. Simple, straightforward, easy to read and use!

The student loved the alternative lesson that was creative and engaging, rather than the old pencil and paper worksheets. This enhanced student involvement and learning!
