Story Wheels

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students use a Story Wheel to summarize a novel, practice sequencing skills, visualize story elements and recognize story structure. In groups, they each complete a piece of the story wheel and put it all together. They complete the first wheel using a novel but can use it with content based reading.
