Build a Story Tower
Age Group: School-age (grade 4)
|
Objectives:
Washington State Common Core Standard:
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.4.3 Describe in depth a character, setting, or event in a story or drama, drawing on specific details in the text (e.g., a character's thoughts, words, or actions). |

Materials:

Procedure:
- Students will read a Goosebumps book of their choosing. Other books may be used but Goosebumps books create very clear characters, settings, and sequence of events.
- Next, students choose to build a story tower with either characters, setting, or events from the Goosebumps book that they have read.
- They will write and draw their information on note cards using a new notecard for each new "scene" of the book using specific details from the text.
- Students will cut two slits on the bottom of each notecard that are approximately 1/2" long (please see photo #2 below).
- Next, stack the cards according to where the slits are to make a story tower.
Assessment:
- When the towers are complete have students go around the room and do a gallery walk, admiring the work of their peers. This is when the teacher should go around and assess the story event towers using a 1-4 scale.
Differentiation:
- Differentiate for students with limited writing or language by letting them draw pictures with captions or labels.
- Students with motor difficulties may need to dictate the words and have an adult write them on the cards and cut them to be stacked.
- Students with lower reading levels may use picture books as opposed to Goosebumps books.
