This hard worksheet stretches Grade 1 narrative thinking by asking students to define a plot, pick a strong story opener like One day, a boy found a map, explain that most stories end when the problem is solved, and recognize a sunny beach as a setting. Part B follows with five fill-in-the-blank prompts about the problem the hero faces, the setting as where and when a story takes place, the hero as the main character, the plot that keeps readers interested, and how the hero usually feels happy at the end. By the time first graders finish, they can name every piece of a narrative and spot it inside the stories they read at home and at school.
