Students at this level require guidance and support during instructional opportunities for this objective.

  • Teachers read stories aloud.
  • Teachers lead discussions about the characters paying close attention to story details.
  • Teachers allow opportunities for students to describe characters.
  • Teachers lead discussions about what the setting of a story is and what key details and illustrations help a reader understand the setting of a story.

  • The focus is only on the character(s) and setting within the story. The expectation is not independence. Students will still need teacher guidance and support.

  • Descriptions of characters is not limited to the external characteristics of a character. Character description can also include internal characteristics.

Examples of Questions:

  • What is a character?

  • Who is the character(s) in this story?

  • Is the character happy or sad? Why?

  • Where is the story taking place?

  • When is the story taking place?

Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
