Narrative Elements Exploration
Read and Identify
Read the story, then answer the questions.
At the school chess tournament, Finn studied the board while the other players packed up their pieces. His match with Anahera was nearly finished, but he could not see a way to protect his rook. The room hummed with quiet conversation, and the afternoon sun made bright squares on the floor.
Anahera waited patiently. Finn took a slow breath and looked at the board from the other side. He spotted a move that would keep his rook safe. He moved his knight, and Anahera smiled as she saw the clever plan.
They finished the game with a handshake. Finn had not won, but he felt proud that he had kept trying. He and Anahera agreed to play again at the next tournament.
