Grade 3 · Reading · Lesson 28

Act Out Story Scenes

Every story follows an arc — a shape that rises and falls. Understanding the story arc helps you read, retell, and act out stories with confidence. When you know which part of the arc you are in, you know how your voice and expression should change.

What this lesson teaches

1Identify the four stages of a story arc: setup, rising action, climax, and resolution
2Sequence story scene cards in the correct narrative order
3Act out or describe a scene with appropriate expression and detail for each stage
