Chapter 9 3344

This chapter talks about how a story is broken down and the different elements that makes a story. The elements of a story consist of a plot, characters, setting, point of view, and theme. The chapter also explains how children of various ages have a different concept and interpret stories in different ways. Children at a pre-k level usually have stories read to them and this helps them to begin understanding what a story is and that understanding grows as they become older. Some teachers will have their students keep some kind of journal or reading log to make sure the students read and understand what they had read and their predictions of what might happen next. Other teachers would have discussions in their classrooms. The chapter also talks about how to write a story. There is an old saying that everyone has at least one good story in them. I think people have more than one good story, but their stories are hardly ever told. There are so many ways to write a story, but the basic elements are the same as reading a story.
