Parts of a story braid


Fluffball with eyes = Characters in the story
Star = where the story takes place
Red, green, and blue fluffball = beginning middle and end of the story
Clothespin = "hookup" or problem in the story
Bow = resolution of the problem, and end of story

This little story braid helps students remember what parts of the story they need to tell when retelling a story. It's fairly easy to make, but I found that using just glue didn't make the fluffballs stay on very well, I had to sew them on with needle and thread.

Update: I made this after seeing someone use it and didn't know these are commercially available. This is my own simplified version, the original is called story grammar marker and here is where to buy it: http://mindwingconcepts.com/story-grammar-marker
