Read or listen to a story, then take a piece of paper and fold it in half the long way and then again in half the short way. When you open up the paper, it should have four equal squares. In the first square, draw the characters from the story and label who they are. In the next square, draw a picture of the setting and label it. In the third box, draw a picture and label one of the major events in the story. In the last box draw and label how the story ends.
