Activity: Organizing Story Elements

Laurie Keller’s Potato Pants! features quite a cast of vegetable characters—including a plethora of potatoes, as the title suggests!

To help your students keep track of the story elements—the who, what, when, and where—of this Book of the Week, please download, print, and share this free graphic organizer inspired by the lesson plans of Book Talks teacher Tamika Mitchell-Wilcher.

Students can answer the questions with words to practice their writing skills or by drawing pictures to express their artistry.

If you’re able, please share photos of your students’ completed activities with the Scholastic Book Clubs community on Facebook and Instagram using the hashtag #ScholasticBookClubs. We’d love to hear from you!
