How to Use This Pack

Six organizers to use with any stories, on plain notebook lines. Page 1 compares two characters, page 2 first and third person narrators, and page 3 the narrator's point of view. Page 4 compares tales from two cultures, page 5 two stories with one theme, and page 6 a story with a play, film, comic or reading of it.

In the Classroom

Pair page 4 with two trickster tales from different places, and page 6 with a story and its film or audiobook. Page 3 works well with a story told by one of its characters: ask how another character would have told the same event.

At Home

After your child watches a film of a book they have read, ask what the film left out and which they liked better.

Tips for Success

  • First person uses I and we; third person uses he, she and they
  • A narrator may not know everything
  • Tales from different places often share a pattern
  • Two stories can teach one theme in different ways
