Story Elements Priority List

Read the story, then spot its characters, setting, problem and solution. You will also decide which story details matter most.

The Missing Moon

Arjun and Hollie visited a little art gallery with their class. In the first room, a painting showed a bright yellow moon above a blue sea. Hollie loved it best. Suddenly, the gallery lights went out. When they came back on, the moon painting was missing from its wall. A trail of blue paint led towards the next room. Arjun and Hollie followed the trail. They found the painting leaning safely behind a large display board. A gust from an open window had blown it off its hook. Together, they closed the window and told the gallery helper. The helper hung the painting back up. Hollie smiled at the moon shining over the sea.
