This anchor chart is made with a file folder and post it notes. Tell students that our brains are like file folders. Everything we know is stored in our brains. This is called our schema. There are things that we know. We know that if we go to a grocery store, there is food. We know that libraries contain books. We know that a zoo has animals. Fiction books contain patterns. We know they contain; characters, setting (the problem is influenced by where the story took place and when; such as in the past / present/ or future), conflict (CLIMAX), resolution (not all stories have resolutions / pay attention to how the characters try to solve the problem) and author's message. The post it notes can be taken off of the file folder and a student can identify part of a story, such as the characters, and put it back on the file folder.
