Noisy Nora, Studious Students: Story Elements

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Noisy Nora, Studious Students: Story Elements lesson plan also includes:
  • Project
  • Join to access all included materials

Alliterative adjective nicknames generate stories inspired by Rosemary Wells' book Noisy Nora (also a thematic complement to any class with children who make a ruckus to get attention). Class members explore basic story elements -- characters, setting, conflict, sequence of events, and resolution -- in Noisy Nora, and employ them in original short stories based on adjectives they brainstorm about themselves. A beautifully integrated exercise, and fun!
