Happy Thursday! Today, we’re reading a thrilling story called Quackenstein Hatches a Family by Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen. . Be sure to test when you're done reading/listening (link below). I always have them read a book three times before testing!

Quack is lonely.  That’s a problem, so he decides to hatch an egg.  But, things don’t necessarily turn out as he planned!

Today we’re going to make a story map!  It’s easier than it sounds.  Start by folding a piece of paper into 4 sections.  There’s an example below.  In the very middle of the paper write the title of the story and put it in a bubble.  Then trace the remaining fold lines.  Label as follows: top left-characters, bottom left-setting, top right-problem, bottom right-solution. List the characters in the story in the characters section.  Write the setting in the setting section.  Quack faces several problems.  Write sentences to describe them in the problems section.  In the solution section, write a sentence or two that tell how his problems were solved. I’ve completed some on my example to get you started.  You can copy it down and finish filling in the blanks OR you can fill the whole map on your own!

**Extension Activity: Retell the story by telling what happened in the beginning, the middle, and the end.  You can use pictures, words, or phrases to help you. 

When you're done, you can snap a picture and email it to me at twiles@pearlk12.com!
