Story+Elements+and+Book+Reviews

This project starter was designed to demonstrate a student's understanding of story elements. Whether it is used for an individual's book choice or a class assigned book, a student with only a basic understanding of PowerPoint should be able to sit down and fill in the pieces. I would say that this is geared more towards 3-8th grade students. It can be used for picture book, short stories, or even chapter books.

Here is the basic story elements starter:

Here is my completed example of the story elements based on the book //Because of Winn-Dixie://

I then took this starter and made a few minor changes to turn it into a Book Review starter. The previous starter gives away the resolution of the story's problem. If you don't want to ruin the ending, then try this one out! You could take students' finished products and play them in a continuous loop in the library.
