{Pumped Up} Fiction Story Map for Grades 3-5
I created this {pumped up} fiction story map to get my students to understand not only the basic elements of plot and text structure of fiction, but also to get them thinking more deeply about the book. The story map "extras" give the students opportunities to independently look for the text-based evidence and ask deep text-based questions...all part of the Common Core.
Thank you!
