Intro (5 mins):
- Start this lesson by explaining to your class that a story answers five basic questions, also known as the 5 W's: who,
what, when, where, and why.
- Tell your students that today, they will be listening to the story, The Three Little Pigs, and asking and answering
questions based on the story.
Explicit Instruction/Teacher modeling (10 minutes):
- Create a 5 W's story map for the class to see, using the whiteboard, a projector, or an interactive whiteboard.
- Read the Story of the Frog Prince to your class.
- Tell your class that it is helpful to ask questions after reading a text to gather more information about the story and
clear up any confusion about the sequence of events or details in the story.
- Ask your class 5 W questions about the story. For example, "Who is in this story? Where does it take place?" As the
students answer the questions, fill in your 5 W's chart.
Independent working time (15 minutes):
- Pass out a copy of the map to each student.

should draw a picture illustrating the who, what, where, when, and why of The Frog Prince.
- When they complete their drawings, tell students to share the questions they had about the story in pairs.
Assessment (5 minutes):
- As students work on their story maps, walk around the classroom and look at their worksheets to assess their
understanding of the 5 W's.

within the story.
