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.
