A Foldable “Craftivity"

Plot, Setting, Theme


This engaging activity puts a fun spin on identifying the concept of setting, plot, and theme! Students read the short story "Wesley Wormley and the Potion Commotion". Then students complete a worksheet to identify plot, setting, and theme elements. Students correct any mistakes on their worksheets, and then complete the “craftivity" by following the student-friendly directions.
