Simple Story Sentences

Worksheet illustration

🎯 WALT and Success Criteria

WALT: We are learning to create clear simple sentences for each story element: character, setting, problem, action and resolution.

Success criteria: I can write one complete sentence for each story element using a capital letter and a full stop. I can use a sentence starter if I need help. (Extension: I can combine two elements into one sentence.)

Support & Differentiation

For learners who need support: Use these starters — "The character is...", "The setting is...", "The problem is...". Say your sentence aloud before writing.

For advanced learners (extension): Try to combine two elements into one sentence, or add an adjective or time connective (e.g. "Later,").
