Write a story with a beginning, middle, and end.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.

What children learn in Level 44

Now you're the author! A story needs a beginning, a middle, and an end.
The beginning tells who and where: Once upon a time, a little fox lived in the woods.
The middle tells what happens, often a problem: One day, the fox got lost. The end solves it: At last, the fox found its way home.
Use order words, like first, next, and last. And use describing words, so your reader can picture it!
Your turn! Write your own story, one line at a time. Who is in it? What happens? How does it end?
