What
is the difference
between a story’s plot and
theme? Let’s review!
When explaining a story’s plot,
you should include the most
important details about the
beginning, middle, and end.
The “big idea” of the story is
called the theme. It can be
stated in a single sentence.
The
setting is the time and place
of a story.
The author may state the setting.
Often readers have to use details
in the story to identify the story’s
time and place.
A story’s setting can influence
what happens to characters—the
people or animals in the story.
You
can use word structure to
determine the meaning of
words with prefixes and
suffixes.
List any words in “Two Bad
Ants” that have a prefix or
suffix in the chart to help you
